The yellow/blue cube in f102v2

[julian]

I did some rough calculations. Assuming the page to be 23.5cm high, this works out at 3368 pixels high.

The cube is 63 mm between its two long edges.

The "u" in SAU thus works out to be 8.5 pixels high, or 0.6mm high. That's pretty tiny....

Hi David,

something seems to have gone wrong here. The "cube"'s long edge is about 7mm. I measured this from
the new Yale book, which has the pages reproduced at approximately the original size.

The ratio 3368 pixels for 23.5 cm (approximate height of the book) is certainly close enough.

Normal Voynich letters (Eva o, a) in the recipes section are about 1 mm high, which is a good reference
for comparison.

In general, I consider it very possible that there is writing under the paint here. However, I
would expect that such writing would have been written in ink, i.e. the same ink used for all writing.

It blows my mind that the letters are written that small. I just tried to write some letters 1mm high and what I came up with was small blobs that I could hardly tell apart!
