Voynichese is a numeric cipher?

Let's look at the top right corner of the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. page. [..] to find out your opinion,[..]

ok, let‘s look at this:
- it is one of the just three big red chapter-opening characters which to do not appear anywhere else in the VMS
- function of such red letters is known from many other medieval manuscripts — maybe these are inspired by that common custom, maybe not.
- the position of this „weirdo“ (Stolfi‘s branding) is too weird for a function as „chapter-starter“. What happened here?

- the right part of „the red“ is very weak — looks like the colour was accidently tranferred from a previous page written shortly before, where it was right in the position to open a chapter ‚normally‘.
- the outlined parts and stronger red colour may have been added later or were also contact-transferred by closing the books‘ pages a bit too early.

For me, this is the probable assumption - but still just an assumption.
So I would mirror it along the vertical line:

   

It may have looked this way on a previous page, if ever existed („folio 0.5“). Otherwise, it could be a hint that there was at least 1 more folio ahead of f 1r.

Of course, not helpful at all now.
But yet another opinion, maybe helpful for others; you started to collect these here.

About VMS being a numerical cipher: what would that change or deliver? So, no.
