The Voynich Pipes

That makes sense, in light of ReneZ's comment that the image shows how to tell time You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..

What would the author have understood by the phrase "in the race of the lights"?

Recta linea si serves luminu[m] in curru horas noctis nosse potes galli sine vocibus.


When I read this line, it lent itself so naturally to verse, I ended up translating it this way:

    If you align the lights in the course of the night,

    the hours you will know, without the cock's crow.
