Voynich's anatomy

[Linda]

A stylization of Archimedean pipes, or, as you said, the process of food or feces flowing through, which the author disguised with his favorite scales

I can see the analogous idea of things travelling through a pipe, but in no way is the screw pump the way things move in intestines, not to mention that it is not drawn that way in the vms.

And the screw would be upside down, no?  

What are the two exits to you? Are they the exits from the body or do they go on to other parts?

In any case, the lower part (where the liquid flows out) is most likely the anus.
It is possible that the author could not detail all the details of the intestine, so he made it more schematic. 

I saw it the opposite way.

I think, knowing you have a copy, means that perhaps you could write and ask the person or place who had the original, or someone else who may have a copy, for another look at it, or another copy of the page (hopefully made by someone else), if you couldn't understand it, (i think it would be interesting to check one's copy against someone else's copy, just as we enjoy comparing them all now.) But the lack of notes correcting weird things might mean that these are just things to have? As opposed to things to read or refer to, to use and learn from.

Perhaps... But in the case of VMS, it's done as an assumption, like, "Well, my theory is probably true, but the stupid scribes/authors/artists/alien forces have drawn it incorrectly."

I don't understand your response? I was saying that if you know there are different copies of a book you could compare it with the others to learn more, or see where something might have gotten off track (like leaving out an explanation for a diagram, drawing it differently, etc). In the case of the vms there is no known original or other copies so I don't understand "in the case of the vms". Are you saying theorists say things are drawn wrong in the vms in order to press their theory?
