Rene recently mentioned a page by Adam Mc Lean in which the "pinecones" are compared with mountains in the Angelica De Balneis ms. ...
Quote:Note in both images the strange 'pineapple' sort of figure from which streams of liquid descend down to the bathers. This 'pineapple' form appears in a number of the Voynich balnealogical images.

What I find interesting is that the "tents" appear to have a partially symbolical meaning, which would probably become clear when comparing the image to the source text.

At least a connection from alchemical, "liquid streams" from the mountains to balneology would be conceivable. The study of metallic, mineral and sulfur spas ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ) was a kind of "secondary discipline" of alchemy. At least there was a clear overlap of the fields of work. It was not about transmutation, but about the "analysis" of spa waters:

In the above-mentioned "De balneis et thermis naturalibus omnibus Italiae" of Savonarola, the different spa waters are presented in the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ( including sulfur ).
