Quote:J. K. Petersen makes interesting points about the Cancerian crayfish in the 15th century Voynich Manuscript. Petersen reads the Voynich crayfish as anatomically incorrect, with legs attached to tail, suggesting that the artist had been working from traditional representations rather than from life. This idea supports the theory that crayfish were so common in medieval astrological culture that the critters were simply represented from memory!

Register or Login to view.It's not cool and JKP lacks insight into the voynich or he would have translated it by now, he is hyper critical of my theory when he is wrong, but I have a right to my opinion here!I have never denied your right to an opinion. I have not been hypercritical either. I've been rather patient, actually, and have only criticized your methods and assumptions, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to do considering that you base secondary assumptions on unproven primary assumptions.
