f82v: those rainbows

VViews:

I think it may be significant that what we see in the Voynich (if it really is a rainbow) is actually a double rainbow.

I found an example of the type of apocalypse image I'd mentioned earlier. To me, the similarity is in the double nature of the rainbow, although of course, the Voynich rainbows have nobody sitting on them.

Of course, no one is sitting on the rainbows in the VMs, but, I also think that the idea can be just in a meaning of that double rainbow. Christ (mostly, Christ in Majesty, Christ in the Last Judgement) often was depicted seated on the doubled rainbow, that means:
The rainbow is a frequent iconographical element of the Ascension of Christ and Christ in Majesty. It has been considered as a common feature of the Palestinian and Byzantine iconographical type of Christ’s Ascension, as well as of the East iconographical type of mandorla in Christ in Majesty scenes. Representation of a rainbow portrays the throne of God as described in /”You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.”/; /”You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.”/ in two ways – symbolically and naturalistically. 37 One of the earliest known depictions of mandorla with rainbow is the apse mosaic of Christ in Majesty in the church of Hosios David, Thessaloniki (end of V or beginning of VI c. AD) 38 . In many cases, mandorla is combined with two rainbows as a visual reference of the already described notion about heaven as throne of God and earth as His footstool.

 As for the water on the end of the rainbows, it can mean that it appears after the rain anyway, and, like a gate, locks the water of the rain in the sky, as in Noah's story, when the rainbow "locked the Flood".
