Hi, I’m new to the forum. I apologize if this has already been covered or brought up. I originally was looking to see what people were saying about the cross in the nymphs hands and then came across someone in this thread that posted an image from Ms. Digby 48 that had a pattern in it that I drew from the VM yesterday. I kept scrolling and saw some other people in this thread share other images with crosses in hands and on buildings but the manuscript images they shared ALSO had the icon/design from the VM as well. The icons from the VM that I drew were from the astrology section. I believed it to be the marker where one would begin if they were to read the circles or to line something up with it. I’ve put together some images I found in Ms. Digby 48 that have the same “cross” as the Voynich. The square cross icon is found many more times in the Digby and I don’t know if that’s a particular design from somewhere specific..? But the Digby scribe (or scribes? Not sure if there was more than one) loved the icon a lot. I’m also curious if the scribe from the VM who drew the icon was the only one or if they all drew it. I’d love to know what I don’t know and y’all tell me what you think.
