It's probably something the tarot researchers figure goes without saying, but I found it interesting. As it turns out, card number 'V' in the Major Arcana happens to be called 'The Hierophant' and frequently is also called 'The Pope'. Some illustrations have a pair of keys in silver and gold, etc. Good thing there's no 'pape' to be found in the VMs.
Let's try to keep it quiet. Don't want to encourage any more rampant speculation based on standard and traditional interpretations of medieval information.

A second type of interpretation exists in the 17 symbol sequence. It requires that two symbols from the VMs sequence match two symbols from a known cultural system, like the Greek alphabet, in their visual appearance - and in their placement, their location relative to each other. And in the VMs sequence, the symbols 1 and 5 have comparable form and placement with the Greek symbols omicron and lambda. The visual aspects of subjective interpretation have been given positional confirmation by their objective placement in the sequence. It's something that needs to be built into the drawing's construction that is beyond similar appearance.

I've looked extensively at alchemical symbols and I've never seen that first one in any ancient or medieval text. The second one occasionally shows up with a tick mark rather than a dot.
Was there a source listed for the first one? Is it possible that the VMS was the inspiration for the symbol (many have referred to it as an alchemical text)?
