No text, but a visual code

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Now that there is a thread on the forum about Voynich's anatomy, I think it is all the more necessary to explain that there are no real women—nor anything human—in the codex.

I agree with this claim, but maybe in a different sense.  I believe that all human images in the VMS, including all nymphs and the Zodiac icons, are strictly decorative.  That is, if all those human images were completely erased, the information contents of the book would not be affected.  

At most, for some nymphs in the BioBalneo section, one of the hands may function as an arrow showing the feature of the drawing -- like an opening of a pipe -- that is associated with the nearby label.

All the best, --stolfi
