I found Voynich characters in a 14th century Arabic manuscript

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Hi Stolfi, sorry for not being so clear. Here is an example snippet of the stars/dots that I meant : You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Thanks!  But, again, stars and dots appear on (literally) tens of thousands of medieval manuscripts.

The VMS stars have a variable number or points, from 6 to 10. I am not sure, but there may be one or two with 5 and with 11 points.  Maybe those numbers denote stellar magnitudes or some other information; but considering the "artistic capabilities" of the Scribe, I think it is more likely that the number of rays is just random variation.

Sorry for the crappy editing.

No need to apologize.  This MyBB is absolutely the worst forum software I have seen since I first used the Internet in 1979, when "forum" was just a mailing  list.  It seems to have been derived from some other forum package, but every "feature" in it has been crappified to an unbelievable degree.  Especially the message editor: I have spent hours fixing spaces and line breaks that it kept changing with no rhyme or reason, even in program code...

All the best, --stolfi
