Returning to the peculiarities of those charts as compared with the Voynich pipes.
In the thread "Early Telescope", Rene referenced a German article: "Der Mönch mit dem Sehrohr" available here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (use Ctrl+F to search on the page, and then the PDF is downloadable).
Unfortunately I cannot read German in such volumes fluently, but what attracted my attention was the figure on page 374 (page 9 in the PDF file) reproducing a chart from Vat. lat. 644. Here we have pipes of alternating length. Unfortunately, the number of divisions here is 24 (I presume that's for 24 hours), and not 28. But what does the alternating length stand for? Could anyone please read the article and advise?
