Starred Paragraphs are Pythagorean Sentences, or Maxims

[Jorge_Stolfi]

To summarize, "I believe the starred paragraph section [SPS] of the Voynich are a collection of sayings, or moral maxims (or ethical aphorisms, or gnomes), of Pythagorean beliefs

Hm, a direct competitor to my theory that the SPS is a transcription of the Chinese materia medica Shennong Bencaojing... 

Here’s what I suggest: ... To clarify, I do not mean it is a word-for-word copy - I am still on the team of the text as a cipher.

Have you got a digital transcription of those proposed sayings?  Can you compare the lengths (in number of words or letters) of those sayings to the lengths (in words or EVA characters) of the SPS?  Even if the latter is encrypted, the lengths should be proportional.  

All the best, --stolfi
