Quote: No, it is not more than nothing. If you take any two creased/damaged pieces of parchment and try to align creases, marks, and folds you will always be able to match things.
How am I meant to align the paper correctly? I was matching the bottom edge of the paper to the fold on the map parchment, which means the right side doesnt align. If I rotate the image to align with the right side, the bottom no longer matches the fold line. The scale is important here by the way, you can't just plop the image at any scale and say "look it matches!".
Your argument is that they match, but they don't. My point is that no matter how you do this, no orientation matches beyond both having some kind of stain on the right edge (and the stains do not match). I genuinely had a look, tried it upside down, reversed, flipped, stretched, and more and never could I get a match. To say they genuinely match is a reach, im sorry.
I did have a question, actually- where have you sourced the information for your proposed size for the Map with Ship?
The 29cm is for the on-sheet version of 'Map with Ship'. As per Library of Congress; You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
"Medium
- 1 map : ms., vellum ; 22 x 19 cm., on sheet 29 x 41 cm."
So, no- actually, as I stated, my version is more accurate to the 23.5cm of the Voynich, and to the truth. Please stop spreading misinformation.
the Anti-meridian and post-meridian timekeeping system was well established historical fact dating back to the Romans (there is usage pre-dating them obviously, but just for a relevant and time appropriate example). I don't know why I would choose to view it as a 24 hour clock when that's not true of timekeeping systems of the time?
