[...] you have mentioned that "well known expert on zodiac imagery" many times, and in every Voynich forum or blog that I've seen.
So I think everyone knows about the letter you received and what it said.
Perhaps now you could tell us something about your personal opinions, from your own study of this section. Or, better still, perhaps you could consider the points, and the examples that Sam is making?

I notice that VMs Leo seems to have its tongue out as though licking the raised, front paw.Sometimes I wonder if it's a tongue at all. A tooth maybe? In an herbal I would expect to see dandelions, but I don't think any of the plants in the manuscript resemble one. Could this be a reference to the plant? Was it known as dent de lion at the time?

Quote: There's also a problem unrecognised by many Voynicheros: imagery isn't self-evident and requires the equivalent of natural talent for music.
Quote:How does a Roman mosaic from Tunis make it into the VMs Zodiac?Prove that missing link and your argument will be much more supported. Anyone can say that this image looks like that image, and there isn't much else to argue about.
