  I believe it is a mistake to attribute a 15th-century European work to a book from the ancient Jewish tradition. Setting aside theological aspects—which are absent from the Voynich manuscript—the Book of Enoch bases its cosmology on the doctrine of a flat Earth.
  
    Any educated man or woman in 15th-century Europe knew that the Earth was a sphere. By then, the works of Aristotle and Ptolemy had been part of university learning for more than two centuries. Even a Doctor of the Church like Saint Thomas Aquinas took the sphericity of the Earth for granted. What we see in the Rosettes foldout are the spheres of the Greek tradition, with the sphere of the fixed stars at the center.
  
     As I previously mentioned, the author sought to suggest the Earth's sphericity through a metaphorical device—such as those high walls and the houses clinging to the cliffs.

  Regarding the Earth's sphericity suggested in the Rosettes foldout, we can see that two suns have been drawn—one in the upper-left corner and the other in the lower-right corner. This indicates the existence of two hemispheres, with the sun alternately warming one of them.
  
    On folio f67v2, we also see two suns and two moons, reflecting the same concept of the Earth's sphericity and the alternating positions of these celestial bodies. What is striking about this folio is that we see the sun and moon emerging from tubes, revealing how the channeling of light and astral influence is intrinsic to the conception of the Voynich.
