This is the kind of statement that assumes that a fifteenth-century man uses the same logic as ours.
Following this reasoning, we will come to reproach the author of the Voynich for not having done things well.

Quote:I never speak of an astronomical text. I try to avoid the word text because I just don't think there is any language in the VM. The only thing I am trying to convey is that there is a magic component in the VM without which it is impossible to understand.
Quote:What makes me think that the glyph that looks like 8 is number 8 is precisely that it is not accompanied by any number but by 4 in its medieval form.They are two faces of the same coin. And the glyph that represents the number 4 in its old form is not easily replaceable by a letter like 8. Isn't it?
