No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

In the f70r2 diagram, we once again see a design depicting the summer solstice. The rays extending from the center to the circle, combined with the points emerging from the blue-colored sectors, total 16; meanwhile, 8 small, flame-like shapes radiate from the center, where the face of the moon is depicted. In other words, this represents 16 hours of daylight and 8 hours of night.

  I do not believe this design is a coincidence, but rather an arrangement made on purpose. Especially because, on the outermost circle, we can see how two lines mark a boundary. These are located in exactly the same place as the line seen in the diagram on f68v1, and the lines that cut across the rings on f57v.

   This boundary marks sunset on the summer solstice according to the system of "Italian" or "Bohemian" hours. The new day begins at twilight, at 8 p.m. This is the same system seen on the Prague astronomical clock; however, because South is at the bottom in the Voynich diagrams, the lines appear inverted.
