No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

You're right that I wasn't present when the Voynich manuscript was made, and therefore I can't be sure what it means. In fact, no one can be certain, and I don't think we'll ever reach absolute certainty about all the details of the codex.

  What I do believe is that in any attempt to understand something that remains obscure to us, there are degrees of probability. In the case of the Voynich, some theories are more probable than others, and some approaches to certain aspects are more probable than others.
  
   To focus solely on imagery, Quire 13 is an extremely obscure section to understand, but that does not mean that there are not approaches that are more likely than others depending on the clues shown by the entire codex and on our knowledge of the culture of the time and its modes of iconographic representation.

   Let's take an example. You think that in Quire 13 there are all kinds of human organs, but I think they are images that mostly allude to the medieval cosmological conception with tubes passing through the planetary spheres. On the first page, f75r, we see a kind of slide down which the female figures are descending. They are descending from a structure shaped like a tent roof. I believe this is a metaphor for astral influence descending from the last sphere, that of the fixed stars.
