Voynich Reconsidered

[dfs346]

    "Voynich Reconsidered" is now at the layout stage at Schiffer Books. We have one page which we can either leave blank, or decorate with an image from the Voynich manuscript. I thought of one of the "mandalas" from the Rosettes or cosmology pages. Any preferences? These, or others?

I do hope you continue to provide minute by minute updates on the progress of your book through the publishing process. I find it fascinating how a book goes from conception to reality.

My preference, not pictured, would be the f68v1 illustration of the "wheel with curved spokes". While not as aesthetically attractive as the other candidates, if one follows the investigative line that proposes an idiosyncratic pairing of "Oresme's" cosmos (BNF Fr. 565) drawn inside Shirakatsi's "Eight Phases of the Moon", it is a lot more interesting than the others, which, at this point, are essentially just 'pretty faces'. Additionally, the recognition of the heraldic nebuly line used as an artistic representation of a cosmic boundary in the illustration is quite helpful in further VMs investigation.

Here's a second poll with two new images. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. I'll maybe add f68v1 in a subsequent poll. Twitter only allows up to four choices.

Further thoughts on a possible alphabetic sorting of the glyphs within the Voynich "words" (as implied by Massimiliano Zattera's paper at the Voynich 2022 conference)
