The truth is, I find your iconographic reading of Quire 13 thoroughly entertaining. You say that on You are not allowed to view links.

  As for f79r, I assume you’ve noticed that there are female figures on the blue, not inside it. Perhaps you could explain this. You say that the "water slide" You are not allowed to view links.

I have cited the American scientist couple and their hypothesis regarding plant physiology and female figures as the soul of plants. I have stated that this is not my theory, but that it reveals there are ways of viewing Quire 13 other than the conventional ones—which have led nowhere.

   I am well aware that there are medieval manuscripts that are compilations of unrelated works. I worked at the National Library of Spain, where there are many of them. One thing I learned is to develop a certain sensitivity to medieval humor, humor that is also present in the Voynich.
