folio 85r2 possibly representing the 4 academic faculties

[blongblingi]

i watched the video (and loved it) and it's what made me think of that specific direction lol, i wasn't fully convinced by the "stages of life"/seasons  proposal (i kinda lump them together, as the symbolism in both stages of life and seasons tend to follow similar patterns) there so i thought of it as an alternative option, specifically the insertion of the doctor inside the cycle (the only way it could've made sense to me personally if voynich was a highly edited copy, but even then: the seasonal imagery would've been very hard to miss for the rest of the 3, or even the two if we include the pointing figure as well, so if a seasonal theme was present throughout the circle in the original copy, i doubt that the copier, even if illiterate , would miss that imagery and insert a doctor and a scholar for no reason, even if he was from the page before, or perhaps an insane stretch with winter, a time of higher mortality, being represented by a doctor, but that would give us problems regarding his location).  


also one thing which i just noticed now: does the scholar at the top wear a ring? i think that's a connection with authority (a royal seal perhaps? or a sign of wealth?) which i missed, and could possibly refute him being a "general scholar" , and "point" (pun intended) us to regal and legal authority.

also, if voynich was copied/ originally drawn by an illiterate, the elder on the left gives another possible avenue for why it could be theology, as the layman's interaction with the faith wasn't through the intricate understanding of the trinity, but by an elder priests and prayer beads. (though it could present another problem - i doubt the common peasant knew about a flower-rhetoric analogy or the concept of the four faculties of academia, so that would probably fall in that case )
