No solution, per se, but I am still working on comparing and finding more coincidences with seeing quire 13 imagery as forming a periplus which can be reconstructed into something akin to a nautical chart of the old ecumene, through coordination with some visual information in quire 14.
However, things appear to be rotated, changed in comparative sizing or perspective, and seem to have been purposefully drawn both true and untrue to life, just enough of the latter to be unrecognizable to most in the way i see it, but just enough of the former to be convincing to me; and from my perspective, too many coincidences would have to exist for it not to be so. (i.e. I think the coincidences exist because that's what they were going for) Of course, it also has naked nymphs standing in strange poses nearby, distracting from the true size scales and topics involved. Yet as nymphs they embody the very things they stand for, and what I think the quire is about: water. Most convincing to me, is that in the right order, each page starts and stops with something adjacent to the previous and next pages.
It seems to be going well insofar as my own impression of my discoveries, it has always surprised me how I can look again and see more than I saw the last time, and have lately found some places I thought had been missing, and found more coincidences, that continue to amaze me to have been the case, if I am misinterpreting something that is not as I am describing. It is taking forever to put together the comparisons though, and I don't know that it will convince anyone else, but I want to try, in case it helps anyone else to see it the way I do, since I think it is amazing.
My current project is clipping nautical chart parts in ways that correspond to the vms imagery, creating a version of each page of quire 13, or sets of facing pages where applicable, wherein the nymphs are mnemonics, and each item is replaced with the items I think they stand for, arranged so they match the drawings in terms of positioning and sizing, such that they can be compared in this way. Not so much to look alike but to show what I think it is meant to show. Also I hope to show that there is a clear sequence that is followed which does not cherry pick but includes all the major components one would expect in a map of the world, at least in its shorelines, since again, it is water oriented.
I don't know what the deal is with the text, but for the amount of information I see in the images, I can only hope there is also meaning to be gleaned from the glyphs, makes no sense to me that anyone would spend their time filling it with nonsense, although I guess it does distract from the imagery, as mentioned in Antonio's post. I still hold hope of meaning in the text, but the drawings have already shown me the world.
