Dragons, Dogs & Amadillos?

[Linda]

Thank you, Linda, for making the images I posted visible. I see we agree that this iconographic element should be considered in relation to similar ones in the same section of the Voynich Manuscript, although we may not agree on the ultimate meaning of it all.

  To seek a religious meaning in that image, such as seeing an animal in it, seems to me an unfounded exercise in imagination. In a codex as extensive as the Voynich, there is nothing that suggests a religious interpretation, and besides, when we see an animal in the book, it is well drawn, not that kind of tangled mess that only serves to deceive the eye.

   I don't want to repeat myself too much, I just want to emphasize that this iconographic element has a cosmological meaning for me. After all, a good part of the Voynich manuscript has cosmological content.

I do see some cosmological content of course, and not that i see this as being the case as I still could not explain the rest of the page, but as astrological signs and constellations are associated with animals, including some which have been mentioned along the way, bulls, rams, goats, for instance, it could be possible to join this with the nebuly line to denote the heavens, and whatever cosmological or other implications that might be found in that association. Are you saying you can't see the resemblance to an animal at all?
