#
# AN INTERLINEAR ARCHIVE OF VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT TRANSCRIPTIONS IN EVA
# ==================================================================
#
# OVERVIEW
#
# Edited by J. Stolfi
# Release 1.6e6 - ?? Dec 1998
#
# This file was derived mainly from
#
# INTERLN.EVT file version 1.6, by Gabriel Landini (27 Sep 1996)
#
# Partial transcriptions by John Grove, posted to the Voynich mailing list.
#
# Partial transcriptions by Jorge Stolfi.
#
# A COMPLETE transcription by Takeshi Takahashi (25 Nov 1998).
#
# The bulk of the text taken from INTERLN.EVT consisted of the
# historical (punchcard) transcriptions by W. Friedman, M. D'Imperio,
# C. Currier, and others, re-typed, edited and published by Jim Reeds,
# Jim Guillogly and Jacques Guy. See sections <f0.I> and <f0.J> for more
# details.
#
# The version by T. Takahashi was fetched from his site on 25 Nov
# 1998. It is the first complete transcription of the VMS, and the
# only one in this file that uses the full EVA encoding (including
# "weirdos").
#
# Extensive edits were made to the above files by J. Stolfi, mostly
# affecting comments, line and paragraph breaks, and line numbering.
# Here is a quick summary:
#
# Split into separate files (one per textual unit).
#
# Added "text unit" codes (usually ".P") to main text lines.
#
# Mapped to the EVA encoding.
#
# Unfolded '[|]' choices into separate lines.
#
# Added many new transcriptions and comments.
#
# Corrected many line-breaking errors in the interlinear file.
#
# Abolished the "astro"/"cosmo" distinction; it is all "cosmo" now.
#
# Added unit header lines "<fNNN.UU> {...}" besides page headers.
#
# On the other hand, no text characters or word breaks were
# (consciously) changed. More details about the edits can be found in
# the other parts of this introduction (sections <f0.*>).

# FILE INTERLN.EVT VERSION 1.6
# Original description by by Gabriel Landini, 27 Sep 1996.
#
# [ Amendments/additions by J. Stolfi in "[]" ]
#
# This file [ INTERLN.EVT ] is an interlinear version of the Voynich
# manuscript transcriptions from:
#
# a) P. Currier + new additions by the VMS list members (Jim Gillogly,
# Jim Reeds, Mike Roe 1990-1994)
# b) the First Study Group (W. Friedman 1945-1949)
# c) other pages transcriptions (Don Latham 1996, Mike Roe 1996,
# John H. Tiltman 1951, Karl Kluge 1992, Jim Reeds 1996)
#
# Please report any problems to: G.Landini@bham.ac.uk or to the Voynich
# list: Voynich@rand.org
#
# To join the Voynich list, send e-mail to Voynich-request@rand.org
#
# I will be responsible for keeping this file corrected and updated,
# so if you find any corrections, please contact me so they can be
# included in the next version of this file. All credits and thanks to
# the members of the Voynich list who made the original transcriptions
# available on line.
#
# This file was produced for the EVMT project (European Voynich
# Manuscript Transcription) by G. Landini and R. Zandbergen. We intend
# to transcribe the whole manuscript from T. C. Petersen's hand
# transcription of a set of photostats (1931) and from previous
# transcriptions available in machine readable format. The
# transcription will use the EVA alphabet that will allow translation
# of the document into the three most common alphabets associated with
# the manuscript: FSG alphabet, Currier's alphabet and Frogguy (by
# Jacques Guy).
#
# INTERLN17.EVT is based on the files: voynich.now, FSG.NEW and
# tiltman.txt with some small corrections. The Currier version was
# originally coded in Currier's alphabet. I translated it to FSG
# "enhanced" alphabet using Jacques Guy's BITRANS program and a set of
# rules CUR2FSG2 based on a message by Jim Reeds to the Voynich
# mailing list.
#
# The FSG alphabet does not contain the Currier characters 6 and 7. To
# preserve these, characters 6 and 7 were kept unchanged in the resulting
# FSG version. Currier 6 usually corresponds to K in FSG, while 7 was
# transcribed as K or 8 by the FSG team.
#
# I added a few "end of line" - and "end of paragraph" = marks where missing
# to keep line lengths equal between versions.
# All double spaces ",," were replaced with single spaces.
#
# FORMAT OF THIS FILE
# -------------------
#
# Logical divisions
# -----------------
#
# The file is divided into logical "pages", which are subdivided into
# "units", so that each unit contains only one type of text (paragraphs,
# labels, circular lines, etc; see section <f0.S> for more details.
#
#
# Locators
# --------
#
# [ Locators are constructs used to identify a page, a logical text
# unit, or a line of the VMS. Locators usually ] appear in angle brackets <>.
#
# The format of a [ page locator ] is: "f" plus the folio number, plus
# "r" for "recto" or "v" for "verso", and sometimes a further number
# for complex folios, [ all within <> ]. Ex: <f1v> indicates folio 1
# verso; [ <f101r2> indicates the second page of the fold-out folio 101,
# recto. See Jim Reeds site for a complete list of folios and
# their division into pages. ]
#
# [ A unit locator has the form <fNNN.UU> where <fNNN> is the page
# locator and UU is a tag that identifies the unit within the page:
# typically "P" or "P1", "P2",... for paragraph-formatted blocks,
# "L1", "L2", ... for labels, and so on. ]
#
# [ A line locator has the form <fNNN.UU.LL;T> where <fNNN.UU> is
# the unit locator; LL is the line number; and T is the transcriber's
# code.
#
# The line number is a non-negative integer, optionally followed by a
# lowercase letter { a ... e }. The transcriber code is an uppercase
# letter. ]
#
# In a few places there was a "first" line not present in one of the
# other versions. These lines were numbered [ "0", or "0a", "0b",
# etc... Examples: <f41v.T.0;C>, <f84v.P.0a;C>, <f84v.P.0b;F>. ]
#
# The unit tags and line numbers for labels and other non-paragraph
# text were standardized across versions, in all cases where there
# were conflicts. The original locators were usually retained as '{}'
# comments at the end of the line. ]
#
#
# Line format
# -----------
#
# [ Each line in the file can be
#
# (a) a /line comment/, identified by a "#" in column 1.
#
# (b) a /page header/ or /unit header/, containing a page or unit locator
# in column 1, followed by "parsable information";
#
# (c) a /data line/, with a line locator in columns 1-19 plus one line of
# Voynich text starting on column 20 (which may contain in-line comments).
#
# To simplify parsing by Unix tools, the page/unit header lines (b)
# were "passivated" by inserting "## " in front of them. These are the
# only lines that begin with "##". ]
#
# As in the original transcription files, text limited by curly brackets {}
# is a comment.
#
#
# Transcriber codes
# -----------------
#
# [ The following transcriber codes were inherited from INTERLN.EVT: ]
#
# C: Currier's transcription plus new additions from members of the
# voynich list as found in the file voynich.now.
# F: First study group's (Friedman's) transcription including various
# items as found in the file FSG.NEW.
# T: John Tiltman's transcription of some pages.
# L: Don Latham's recent transcription of some pages.
# R: Mike Roe's recent transcription of some pages.
# K: Karl Kluge's transcription of some labels from Petersen's copies.
# J: Jim Reed's transcription of some previously unreadable characters.
#
# [ The following codes were added by J. Stolfi after 05 Nov 1997,
# in the unfolding of "[|]" groups:
#
# D: second choice from [|] in "C" lines.
# G: second choice from [|] in "F" lines, mostly from [1609|16xx].
# I: second choice from [|] in "J" lines.
# Q: second choice from [|] in "K" lines.
# M: second choice from [|] in "L" lines.
#
# The following codes were assigned by J. Stolfi for use in
# "new" transcriptions:
#
# H: Takeshi Takahashi's full transcription (see f0.K).
# N: Gabriel Landini.
# U: Jorge Stolfi.
# V: John Grove.
# P: Father Th. Petersen (a few readings reported by K. Kluge).
# X: Denis V. Mardle.
# Z: Rene Zandbergen.
# ]
#
#
# Parsable information
# --------------------
#
# Rene Zandbergen has added the Parsable Information to this file:
#
# A special type of in-line comment appears after the [ page/unit
# locator in page/unit header lines (type b1) ]. We call this
# "parsable information". The information is coded in "variables" set
# to values specific for that [ page/unit ], to facilitate the parsing
# and filtering using VTT. The variable names are single characters
# preceded by the $ symbol and they take as value a single character:
#
# $I = illustration type (T,H,A,Z,B,C,P,S)
# Text, Herbal, Astronomical, Zodiac, Biological, Cosmological,
# Pharmaceutical or Stars.
# $Q = Quire (A-T)
# $P = page in quire (A-X)
# $L = Currier's language (A,B)
# $H = Currier's hand (1,2,3,4,5,X,Y)
# $N = has non-Voynich text (Y)
# $K = has key-like sequence (Y)
# $X = has extraneous writing (Y)
#
# Ex: <f5r> {$I=H $Q=A $P=I $L=A $H=1 $N=Y} indicates a Herbal page
# in quire A, page I, Currier Language A, hand 1 and has non-Voynich
# text. Refer to the VTT documentation for details on how to use the
# parsable information.
#
#
# Filler characters
# -----------------
#
# [ The filler characters "!" and "%" are used to align the various
# version of the same line, with slightly different meanings.
#
# The "%" filler is used for relatively long stretches (at least one
# full word, usually next to or across a line break) that were
# obviously skipped or lost in one particular transcription of a line.
# A "%" can be interpreted as "this transcription contains no
# information about this part of the VMS text." Thus a line that is
# omitted from a particular version is equivalent to a line full of
# "%"s.
#
# The "!" filler is used for all other purposes. It denotes a
# character or word break that was either skipped or lost, or that
# (according to the transcriber) does not exist. In particular "!" is
# generally used where other versions have {}-comments.
#
# It is always OK to insert a "!" anywhere in the Voynich text. It is
# also OK to use "!" instead of "%", although the latter is more
# informative, and can be handled differently when computing
# "majority" and "consensus" versions. That is, "%" means "no vote on
# this character" while "!" means "one vote for there being no
# character here".
#
# Note that the original INTERLN file used "%" and "!" as fillers
# with somewhat different meanings. ]
#
#
# Alternative versions
# --------------------
#
# The Friedman version (FSG.NEW) is composed of various items and
# therefore there are variations within FSG.NEW. [ In INTERLN.EVT,
# this variation was ] indicated as [A|B], meaning that one item has a
# character transcribed as an "A" and the other a "B". [ These '[|]'
# constructs were later unfolded into separate lines, identified by
# distinctive transcriber codes; see the table above. ]
#
# Because the brackets and the "or" symbol | also break the
# synchronism but do not indicate any Voynich characters in the
# sequence, the exclamation mark "!" was used to indicate that the
# other version has extra characters that do not code Voynich text. ]
#
#
# Breaks and spaces
# -----------------
#
# [ Breaksin the text are indicated according to the EVA conventions:
#
# "," A dubious word break.
#
# "." A definite word break.
#
# "-" In line-final position: a line break within a paragraph.
# Elsewhere: a major break in the text---an extra-wide
# gap, an intruding figure, a vellum defect, etc..
#
# "=" Always in line-final position: a paragraph break
# (defined by extra interline space, use of <p> and <f> gallows,
# incomplete previous line, end of page, etc.
#
# The word breaks ("." and ",") are taken from the transcription. The
# figure, line, and paragraph breaks ("-" and "=") were inserted by
# the editord of the interlinear, by looking at the reproductions of
# the VMS, without regard for the transcriber's opinion. This should
# not matter much, since the line breaks are hardly in question, and
# most paragraph breaks are fairly obvious too.
#
# Every line must end with either "-" or "=", or, in the case of
# circular lines, with "." or ",". There should be at least one normal
# letter between two succesive break characters (",", ".", "-", or
# "=").

# FILE FSG.NEW
# Original description by Jim Reeds, 18 Jun 1994
#
# [ Amendments/additions by J. Stolfi in "[]" ]
#
# [ The file fsg.new is a ] combined version of all First Study Group
# transcriptions found in William F. Friedman Collection, Marshall
# Library, Lexington, Virginia.
#
# These are:
#
# Item 1609, an almost complete transcription of all of the VMS
#
# A transcription found in folder 1613, of f111v through f114r
#
# An unnumbered item, seemingly a partial draft of 1609, of f41r - f58r
#
# Comments in item 1609 have not been transfered to this file.
#
# These have been edited together, with points of difference indicated
# thus: toma[y|h]to, meaning the one version reads tomayto and the other
# reads tomahto.
#
# Line ends have been marked with - and paragraph ends with =
#
# Line ends have been ruthlessly supplied from other partial transcriptions
# of the VMS and in some cases from inspection of photocopies.
#
# Since much of the the FSG transcription was unchecked, there are numerous
# transcription blunders, caused by eye skip, line omission, and possibly
# by IBM card loss. In some cases these mistakes were so severe that it
# was impossible to insert line ends correctly.
#
# [ Many additional line breaking and ordering errors in the FSG
# transcriptions were fixed by J. Stolfi, after conversion to EVA.
# Most (but probably not all) of these fixes are listed in section
# <f0.W>. ]

# TAKESHI TAKAHASHI'S FULL TRANSCRIPTION
#
# Takeshi Takahashi announced on 25 Nov 1998 the first
# complete, single-handed transcription of the VMS:
#
# http://www3.justnet.ne.jp/~ttakahashike/voynich/pages/index.htm
#
# In his words, it was "hard work and took me half a year to
# transcribe". We can believe that. He adds:
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# I transcribed in EVA solely by referencing the VMs. I did not
# cross-reference with either FSG or the Currier transcriptions.
#
# I tried to transcribe as the text appeared, so I sometimes ignored
# apparent spaces between words.
#
# Maybe this is not a good analysis. (I mean, originally two words, maybe,
# at some case, I recognized one word. It is very difficult to distinguish
# a space.)
#
# I had difficulty in distinguishing <a> from <o>, <r> from <s> and <g>
# from <m>.
#
# When I couldn't make out a tail on an <a>, I transcribed <o>.
#
# I distinguished <cs> from <Sh>, but I have no idea whether this
# distinction is necessary or not.
# ------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Takeshi's transcription was published in HTML format, with word breaks
# encoded as " ". Merging with the other transcriptions required
# extensive edits to that file, affecting mainly line breaks,
# paragraph marks, and label ordering. The main changes were:
#
# Removed HTML formatting.
#
# Split, merged and rearranged some lines.
#
# Added or removed "#"-comments, "{}"-comments and "!" fillers.
#
# Changed some spacers (".", "-", "=").
#
# Changed HTML-style weirdo notation "&nnn;" to 8-bit chars and vice-versa.
#
# On the other hand, the text characters and word division were not changed,
# so all the edits can be considered "cosmetic surgery".

#
# DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INTERLN.EVT AND THE PRESENT FILE
# By Jorge Stolfi since Sep 1997
#
# I made many changes to the format and comments
# of Gabriel's INTERLN.EVT, after fetching it on Sep/Oct 1997.
#
# * I converted the file to the EVA alphabet. This step is
# described in more detail in section <f0.V>.
#
# * I expanded lines with the "[|]" notation into line pairs
# with different transcriber codes. This step is described
# in section <f0.U>.
#
# * I split the interlinear into many separate files: one file
# for each page, containing only comments, and one file for each
# "text unit" or "locus" (block of homogeneous-looking text) within
# the page. This step is detailed in section <f0.S>.
#
# * I replaced some non-FSG characters found in INTERLN.EVT by "*" or by
# valid EVA characters, as it seemed appropriate, usually leaving the
# original as an {}-comment.
#
# * I fixed many missing or bogus "-" and "=".
#
# * I fixed several line-breaking errors in INTERLN.EVT,
# mostly cases where the last character of a line was omitted and
# entered as a separate word on the following line. I tried to
# record all these fixes in section <f0.W>.
#
# * I reassigned the text unit codes in a more consistent
# manner across the manuscript. Specifically, to each *set* of
# labels in a text unit (e.g. all the stars, or all the spokes) I
# assigned a single text unit code, e.g. "L1", "L2", etc..
#
# * I assigned also to the "anonymous" units (paragraph-formatted text)
# an explicit "P" code, or "P1", "P2", ... on pages where the
# paragraphed text was broken by labels or other kinds of text.
# (There are a few exceptions; for instance, on f66r (the three-way
# table), I used "R" for the anonymous locus (the right-hand
# column).
#
# * I added various new transcriptions, mainly by John Grove
# and myself, plus some items by R. Zandbergen and R. Firth.
#
# * I merged Takeshi Takahashi's complete transcription with the
# interlinear. See seection <f0.K>.
#
# * I moved all comments relating to a specific text unit to the
# beginning of that unit. Sometimes this required splitting,
# rearranging, or otherwise editing the comments.
#
# * I removed all comments of the form "# page NNN" since that
# numbering was inconsistent with the binding order. (For one thing,
# the last page f116v, which should be even, was numbered 235).
#
# * I replaced the word "folio" in comments by "panel" or "page",
# whenever it meant only one face of a folio (or one part of a
# multi-part fold-out).
#
# * I added many descriptive comments, and merged into the file
# several scattered databases (such as Jim Reeds's color usage
# tables, Petersen's plant names, etc.)
#
# * I fixed the line locators <...> of labels so that all
# transcriptions of the same label now have the same line locator.
# I retained the original locators as {}-comments at the
# end of each line.
#
# * I split multiline labels so that each line of each label
# is now entered in a separate line of the file, with a distinct
# line locator. (Embedded "-"s should now be used only for intrusions of
# a figure or a vellum defect in a single line of the manuscript.)
#
# * I appended a "=" to the end of each label and isolated text line.
# For multiline labels, I used "-" to terminate each line but the
# last one.
#
# * I regularized the transcription of circular text, sometimes
# shifting the starting point. I used an "=" terminator where the
# starting poing is clearly marked, "-" where it is merely a
# larger-than-normal gap, and "." where it is an arbitrarily chosen
# word gap.
#
# * I replaced all page header lines (containing only a page locator
# <...> and no Voynich text) by special "#" comments, compatible
# with R. Zandbergen's VTX tool. These comments have the form
#
# ## <fNNN> {$I=i $Q=q $P=p $L=l $H=h $X=x}
#
# where
#
# "NNN" is a page f-number (folio, side, and division, e.g f86v3)
# "i" is the section code ("T" for text, "H" for herbal, etc.);
# "q" is the quire code, a letter in [A-T];
# "p" is a letter in [A-Z] identifying the panel within the quire;
# "l" is the "language" in Currier's sense, "A" or "B";
# "h" is the calligraphic "hand", a character in [1-5XY];
# "x" is a miscellaneous attribute (a letter).
#
# The "$L" and "$H" attributes are omitted when unknown. The "$X"
# attribute is present only for page f17r, which is marked "$X=U"
# (for the extraneous writing?).
#
# Be warned that there are some discrepancies between these "$I"
# attributes and the section recorded in Stolfi's UNITS file. The
# UNITS file is more conservative, and assigns section "?" to some
# text-only pages whose "$I"-codes were apparently assigned by
# analogy with adjacent pages. Moreover, the UNITS file does
# not distinguish between "astro" and "cosmo" pages.
#
# * I also added "unit header lines", similar to the page headers above,
# at the start of each text unit within a page. The format of
# these unit headers is
#
# ## <fNNN.UU> {}
#
# where <fNNN> is the page locator, and "UU" is the tag identifying
# the unit ("locus") within the page. Note that unit headers are
# distinguished from page headers by the "." in the locator. The
# empty attribute list "{}" was added for uniformity and future
# expansion.
#
# * I replaced purely alphabetic line numbers "a" and "b" by "0a"
# and "0b". Now the line number always begins with digit, and the
# unit code always begins with a letter.
#
# * I created dummy files for all the missing pages (as deduced from
# the folio numbers in the VMs itself). For that purpose, I assumed
# each missing folio had only two panels (recto and verso), and
# arbitrarily assigned them "$P"-codes higher than the "non-missing"
# panels, and section "$I"-code "M" (for "missing").
#
# * I hereby apologize for using so many "I"s in this section.

#
# SPLITTING LANDINI'S INTERLINEAR INTO TEXT UNITS
# J. Stolfi 12 Oct 1997
#
# Overview
#
# To simplify(?) the handling and editing of the interlinear
# file, I split each page into what I called "textual units".
#
# I defined a textual unit as a maximal subset of a page that
# is contiguous in "normal" reading order, and has
# homogeneous "text type"; which is one of:
#
# "parags"
#
# Apparently prose, in multi-line paragraphs. The last line in
# each paragraph ends with "=", other lines end with "-".
# Paragraph boundaries are guessed from line spacing,
# right-margin justification, and presence of <p> and <f>
# gallows.
#
# "starred-parags"
#
# Like parags, but with a star-like symbol in front of each
# paragraph.
#
# "itemized-parags"
#
# Like parags, but with a single Voynich letter or symbol
# in front of each paragraph. Here the letters are indicated in
# "{}" comments; they are also listed separately as a "letters" unit.
#
# "circular-lines"
#
# Text where each line is written around a circle in some
# diagram. The lines are terminated by "=", "-", or "."
# depending on how well is the starting point marked.
#
# "radial-lines"
#
# Text where each line is written along a ray in some diagram.
# Each line is terminated by "=".
#
# "titles"
#
# Text where each line is a title for a page or figure.
# This type includes John Grove's "titles" or "signatures",
# non-justified lines found below some paragraphs.
# Each title is terminated by "=".
#
# "itemized-lines"
#
# The right-hand column of an itemized list ("key-like
# sequence"). Here each line of text is an "item" of the list,
# and is terminated by "=".
#
# "labels"
#
# List of labels attached to parts of figures.
# Also the column of words from the table in f66r (page 117).
# Here each label is terminated by "=", and multiple
# lines of the same label are separated by "-".
#
# "letters"
#
# The single-letter labels in itemized lists. Also the column of
# single letters in f66r (page 117). Letter sequences written
# horizontally are transcribed all on the same line, with "-"
# separators. Other sequences are transcribed one letter per
# line, with "=" terminators.
#
# "-"
#
# This "text type" is used for files or units that contain
# no Voynich text, only comments.
#
# "?"
#
# This text type is used for units that (presumably) contain
# Voynich text of unknown type (e.g. missing pages).
#
# Unit numbering and file names
#
# Each unit is stored as a separate file named "fNNN.UU", where
# "NNN" is the folio-based page number (folio, side, and division,
# e.g. f85r2), and UU is the unit code within the page.
#
# Descriptive comments that apply to a whole panel are stored in a
# separate file named "fNNN" (without location code). General
# comments about the VMS were moved to files <f0.*>.
#
# Note that it was sometimes necessary to split a page with N
# distinct text types into *more* than N units, in order to preserve
# the "natural" ordering of the text. For example, the transcribed
# "pharma" pages have blocks of normal text alternating with rows of
# labels; each block of text and each row of labels have therefore
# been made into a separate unit.
#
# Note that any logical page or textual unit that spans multiple panels
# gets its page number from its first full-size panel, in "normal" reading
# order. So a page that spans panels f101r1 and f101r2 would be numbered
# <f101r1>; whereas one that spans f101v1 and f101v2 would be numbered
# <f101v2>.
#
# Detailed description of files
#
# A detailed description of the splitting can be found in
# the "UNITS" file. Each line of UNITS describes one of the
# textual units above; it contains 8 fields separated by ":"
#
# [1] a 4-digit sequence number, which can be used to sort the
# units in their "natural" reading order.
#
# [2] the file name (fNNN or fNNN.UU).
#
# [3] the "section", or apparent subject matter: "herbal", "bio", "cosmo",
# "pharma", "stars", "?" if unknown, or "-" if the file
# contains no text.
#

# NOTES ON THE UNFOLDING OF "[|]" ALTERNATIVES
# Jorge Stolfi 05 Nov 1997
#
# To simplify processing of the text, I expanded the "[|]" notation
# used in Gabriel Landini's interlinear file v1.6. Each line that
# included one or more such alternations was replaced by a pair lines,
# one using only the first choice of every alternation, the other
# using only the second choice out of every alternation.
#
# For the extra lines resulting from the unfolding of '[|]' constructs,
# I used these codes:
#
# D: second choice from "C" lines
# G: second choice from "F" lines
# I: second choice from "J" lines
# Q: second choice from "K" lines
# M: second choice from "L" lines
#
# Unfortunately I had to remove the "!" and "%" padding characters in
# the unfolding process, since they no longer provided the proper
# alignment between the unfolded versions and un-unfolded versions.
# Fixing this problem would have required processing all versions of
# of one line at once, and effectively computing a consensus for it.

# CONVERSION OF INTERLN.EVT TO THE EVA ENCODING
# Jorge Stolfi 05 Nov 1997 (Corrected 31 Mar 1998)
#
# This step was done with "fsg2eva", an AWK
# script. The main part of the script follows:
#
# function fsg_to_eva(txt)
# {
# # Converts a chunk of comment-free FSG text to EVA
#
# # We discard "%" and "!" since the conversion
# # will destroy synchronism anyway.
# gsub(/[% !]/, "", txt);
#
# # Now convert
# gsub(/IIIE/, "iiil", txt);
# gsub(/IIIK/, "iiim", txt);
# gsub(/IIIL/, "iiin", txt);
# gsub(/IIIR/, "iiir", txt);
# gsub(/IIE/, "iil", txt);
# gsub(/IIK/, "iim", txt);
# gsub(/IIL/, "iin", txt);
# gsub(/IIR/, "iir", txt);
# gsub(/IE/, "il", txt);
# gsub(/IK/, "im", txt);
# gsub(/IL/, "in", txt);
# gsub(/IR/, "ir", txt);
# gsub(/HZ/, "cth", txt);
# gsub(/PZ/, "cph", txt);
# gsub(/DZ/, "ckh", txt);
# gsub(/FZ/, "cfh", txt);
# gsub(/2/, "s", txt);
# gsub(/4/, "q", txt);
# gsub(/6/, "g", txt);
# gsub(/7/, "j", txt);
# gsub(/8/, "d", txt);
# gsub(/A/, "a", txt);
# gsub(/C/, "e", txt);
# gsub(/D/, "k", txt);
# gsub(/E/, "l", txt);
# gsub(/F/, "f", txt);
# gsub(/G/, "y", txt);
# gsub(/H/, "t", txt);
# gsub(/I/, "i", txt);
# gsub(/K/, "m", txt);
# gsub(/L/, "n", txt);
# gsub(/M/, "iin", txt);
# gsub(/N/, "in", txt);
# gsub(/O/, "o", txt);
# gsub(/P/, "p", txt);
# gsub(/R/, "r", txt);
# gsub(/S/, "sh", txt);
# gsub(/T/, "ch", txt);
# gsub(/V/, "v", txt);
# gsub(/Y/, "x", txt);
#
# return txt
# }
#
# This procedure was applied to the Voynich text proper, preserving
# the '#' and '{}' comments as well as the location codes.
#
# I had to edit manually some '{}' comments that contained Voynich
# characters in FSG or Currier notation. The units affected by this bug
# were
#
# f100r.P1 f100r.m f100v.M f103r.P f104r.P f49v.P f65v.P
# f66r.R f76r.R f89r1.b f89r2.b
#
# Note: The 05 Nov 1997 version of this script incorrectly mapped "IK"
# to "ik" instead of "im". This error affected 79 lines of INTERLN.EVT
# representing about 50 distinct words. The error was corrected on 31
# Mar 1998, by manually editing the EVA translation of those lines.
# The endings "IIIK", "IIK", and "K" were not affected by this error.

# LINE BREAKING AND OTHER TRANSCRIPTION BUGS IN INTERLN.EVT
# by Jorge Stolfi
#
# The following is a cumulative list of various transcription bugs
# that were fixed by hand in the INTERLN.EVT file, after conversion to
# the EVA encoding.
#
# These bug fixes affected mostly line breaking and formatting.
# The main exception is a large number of "IIIR"s in some
# transcriptions, which should have been "O"s. Presumably they
# were caused by a coding table error somewhere.
#
# Omitted from this list are hundreds of replacements of "." by "-"
# where the text was interrupted by figures, and several dozen
# replacements of "-" by "=" (or vice-versa).
#
# The locators given here assume that the "[|]" groups were
# unfolded as explained in section <f0.U>.

# GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN PAGE DESCRIPTIONS
# By Jorge Stolfi 05 Dec 1998
#
# /crease/
# An *accidental* crease in the vellum (cf. /fold/).
#
# /fold/
# An *intentional* fold in the vellum, namely between
# panels of a fold-out.
#
# /gutter/
# The fold where a /bifolio/ is sewed to the book.
#
# /quire/
# A stack of /bifolios/ that was folded and bound as a unit. The
# quires of the book are identified with letters `A' to to `T',
# front to back, which may be written `qA' thru `qT' for clarity.
# Rene Zandbergen has a detailed description of all quires and
# bifolios.
#
# /bifolio/
# A connected piece of vellum, usually consisting of two /folios/
# joined across the /gutter/. The notation bQK will be used to
# denote the Kth bifolio of quire Q, counting from 1 (the outermost
# one).
#
# /folio/
# A piece of vellum defined on one side by the gutter and three free
# edges. In the big fold-out, the two folios (85 and 86) are
# separated by the gutter and the vertical fold that is collinear
# with it.
#
# /f-number/
# The standard folio number, usually written fNN where NN is the
# original number written in the manuscript, usually at the top of
# the /recto/ side.
#
# /side/
# One of the two surfaces of a /folio/ or /bifolio/. The sides of folio
# fNN are denoted fNNr and fNNv, for /recto/ and /verso/, respectively.
#
# /recto/
# The /side/ of a /folio/ that you see when the /gutter/ is on the
# left, the book is in its normal orientation, and the folio is
# completely unfolded.
#
# /verso/
# The /side/ of a /folio/ opposite to the /recto/ side, i.e. the one
# that you see when the /gutter/ is at right.
#
# /free edge/
# A straight section of the physical boundary of a /bifolio/.
#
# /edge/
# Either a /free edge/ or a /fold/.
#
# /panel/
# A rectangular partition of one side of a /folio/, delimited by
# four /edges/. Thus a simple folio has two panels, recto and verso,
# denoted by fNNr and fNNv where fNN is the folio number. In
# fold-outs, panels are numbered fNNrK or fNNvK, starting from the
# innermost panel (adjacent to to the gutter, K=1) and increasing
# outwards (towards the vertical free edge of the folio). Jim Reeds
# has a very detailed description of how the complex folios are
# folded, including panel numbers.
#
# /page/
# One or more adjacent panels that are to be read as a unit, e.g.
# because the contents is laid out without regards for the
# separating edges. A page is identified by the number of its
# innermost panel (the one that is closest to the gutter).
#
# /contents/
# Of a page, the text and drawings in it.
#
# /margin/
# Each of the four imaginary straight lines (top, bottom, left,
# right; or North, South, West, East) that seem to bound the normal
# text in a page. They usually lie a couple of centimeters inwards
# relative to the panel's edges. Note that drawings and labels may
# extend beyond the margins.
#
# /word/
# A sequence of characters (Voynichese by default) not broken by
# /word spaces/ or graphical material.
#
# /word space/
# A space between two character that is noticebly wider than the
# average spacing.
#
# /text line/
# A linear arrangement of characters, mostly straight or circular,
# with their `up' directions perpendicular to the overall line
# direction, and that (presumably) must be read consecutively. Note
# that a text line may be /interrupted/ by graphical elements,
# folds, vellum defects, etc.
#
# /text ring/
# A circular text line that covers almost one full circle.
#
# /text block/
# A set of two or more consecutive lines of text, stacked
# perpendicularly to the reading direction not more than a couple of
# character heights apart, and which presumably are to be read in
# sequence. Note that a text block may consist of concentric
# circular lines, and may comprise one or more /paragraphs/.
#
# /text edge/
# The two imaginary lines, not necessarily straight, that connect
# the left end right endpoints of successive lines in a text block.
#
# /paragraph/
# A text block where the spacing between /text lines/ is uniform and
# close to the minimum, and which presumably is a single sequence of
# words arbitrarily broken into lines to fit the available space.
# Typically, at least one of the text edges is straight or follows
# the outline of an adjacent figure. The number of lines of a
# paragraph is usually given as M.N, where M is the number of whole
# lines, and N/10 is the width of the last line, relative to the
# total width available for it (not counting any space taken up by
# figures, folds, creases).
#
# /left justified/
# (Of a text block) whose left text edge is straight and vertical.
#
# /right justified/
# (Of a text block) whose right text edge is straight and vertical,
# except possibly for the last lines of paragraphs.
#
# /label/
# A short text line, containing only a couple of words, that is
# placed next to a figure or in a cell of a diagram.
#
# /title/
# A text line that is placed next to a figure or in a cell of a
# diagram, and is longer than a couple of words; or is placed above
# or below a paragraph, but cannot be assumed to be part of it.
#
# /star/
# A star-shaped figure with straight sharp-pointed rays, possibly
# with interior detail.
#
# /tail/
# (Of a star) a single curved line attached to the star's outline.
#
# /notched square/
# A design often found in circular bands around diagrams. It
# consists of a squarish sector of the band, containg four small
# "u"s, each connected to one side by both arms. The radial sides of
# the square are often doubled or tripled. Sometimes there are also
# dots in the center and/or near the four corners. This design seems
# to be used as a decoration in some diagrams (e.g. on f67v1, the
# "happy sun" page) and as a start-of-text marker in others (e.g
# f71r, the "Aries light" page.)
#
# /nymph/
# A human figure of female or indeterminate sex, with full or
# partial body which may have merely a decorative or exemplary
# purpose. E.g. the figures in the biological section, or around the
# zodiac diagrams; but not the figures in the zodiac signs
# themselves, or the sun/moon faces.
#
# /breasts/
# Visible female breasts, bare or clothed.
#
# /mechanically drawn/
# The opposite of freehand. Said of straight lines that seem to have
# been traced with ruler. Also said of circles that seem to have
# been drawn with compass, or by tracing some round object.
# (Jim Reeds, reporting on his Beinecke visit [13 Jul 94], says that
# "there were no pricks or pounce marks, no rulings except
# on the circular diagrams.")
#
# /scales/
# A common decoration motif consisting of close-packed scales with
# rounded edge. When the fore edge of the scale-packed region is
# visible, each scale is usually seen to have a tongue-like shape,
# with parallel sides narrowing slightly towards the basal edge,
# which is attached to the substrate.
#
# This motif could represent closely-packed leaves, feathers, roof
# tiles, flaps of fabric, etc. On one diagrams, some nymphs are
# buried waist-deep in a field of scales, so it could be clouds,
# grass, bushes, or a planted field. Another compelling
# interpretation in some contexts is a layer of closely-packed seeds
# or florets, as in corn, pomegranate, sunflower, etc.

# Bifolio: bA1 = f1+f8

#
# Description:
#
# The page contains four paragraphs (with 4.6, 2.4, 9.5, 5.5 lines,
# respectively), each followed by a short right-justified title.
#
# Paragraphs 2 and 3 begin with big "weirdo" doodles, very unlike
# normal Voynichese letters. The first (EVA &252) looks like a
# capital K lying on it side, with the vertical bar at the bottom.
# The second (EVA &253) looks like the first, with an extra
# squiggly line rising from between the two "horns". The two symbols
# are drawn or painted with flaring strokes ending in swallowtail
# serifs.
#
# A 1-inch band along the right margin is heavily stained. There
# seem to be two or three columns of letters ("key like sequences")
# in that band, which are barely visible in the reproductions.
#
# There is a faint unreadable text at the top of the page,
# apparently in cursive handwriting.
#
# Comments:
#
# The page layout suggests four quotes with attributions, or signed
# endorsements.
#
# The faint scribbling at the top must be the signature
# of Jacobus de Tepenecz, as asserted in many references.
#
# Jim Reeds writes [15 Jul 94]: "The erased key on f1r is discussed
# by Brumbaugh. It seems to have 3 vertical columns of letters. The
# leftmost is the ordinary alphabet, lower case italic hand, a
# through z. I could not check for the presence of every letter (I'm
# not sure about j, for instance) but a, b, c, ... o, p, q, r, s,
# ... y, z are pretty clear. Next to those are very spotty frags of
# Voynich letters. I could make out <8> next to a, <R> next to c,
# <6> next to y, and one of the gallows letters somewhere near the
# q, r, s range. [...] The 3d column seems to be 1 off from the
# first: italic miniscules, r next to s, and so on. More is visible
# in UV shots than Petersen shows."
#
# Brumbaugh reportedly claims that there was a date in the upper
# right corner of f1r before it was obliterated by the application
# of chemicals (intended to reveal faded writing).
#
# D'Imperio says that the "weirdo" characters EVA &252/&253 are in
# bright red ink; confirmed by Glen Claston [20 Feb 1998] and Jim
# Reeds [03 Mar 1998].
#
# Rene [28 Jul 1997] found a medieval astrological diagram [1], in
# Greek, where EVA &252 is used as a symbol for Aries, which is
# "kruos" or "kryos" in Greek.
#
# Stolfi suggested [07 Aug 1998] that the symbols may be
# abbreviations for "Koenig" and "KoenigiN" --- i.e. "K" and
# "K"-with-squiggle. (How desperate can you get?)

# Colors: green,tan (Reeds)

#
# Description:
#
# One plant centered on page.
#
# Root: a knobby, warped, pancanke-like tuber with
# short roots attached like claws or fangs
# all around the rim. Light color.
# Stem: thick, well drawn. Light color.
# Branches: one straight up, two oblique with drooping tips.
# Leaves: broad lance-shape, with two short tails.
# Stalk: short.
# Flowers: one, growing at the tip of the center branch.
# Stalk: very short. Chalyx:
# conical, continuous with petals. Petals: short rounded,
# light-colored. Core: hemispherical, dark-colored
# (could be a berry; see below).
#
# Two paragraphs (with 3.8 and 5.8 lines), just below mid-page,
# left- and right-justified, interrupted by the plant's main stem.
#
# Comments:
#
# Part of this drawing (root and leaves only) is repeated on
# Pharma page f102r1[3,2].
#
# The plant looks basically normal, except for the very peculiar
# root.
#
# Petersen identifies the plant as "Solanum Solatrium, Belladonna"
# specifically the "flower". He says: "see L.Fuchs p.398". There is
# no "Solanum solatrium"; rather, "solatrium" is an ancient
# (Dioscoridean) name for some or all of these species:
#
# Atropa Belladona (deadly nightshade)
# http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/research/library/kohler/1763_010.jpg
# http://130.60.70.1/GIFTDB/pict_02.htm
#
# Hyoscyamus niger (henbane)
# http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/research/library/kohler/1763_011.jpg
# http://www.lysator.liu.se/runeberg/nordflor/110.html
#
# Solanum nigrum (black nightshade)
# http://axp.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/WEEDS/black_nightshade.html
#
# Solanum dulcamara (bittersweet)
# http://cal.vet.upenn.edu/poison/ppstsleurop.htm
# http://www.lysator.liu.se/runeberg/nordflor/109.html
#
# and perhaps other somewhat less likely species such as Withania
# somnifera and Physalis alkekengi.
#
# The leaves of f1v seem most compatible those of Atropa belladonna
# (shape) and Hyoscyamus niger (attachment to stem), and the "flower"
# at the top of f1v does resemble the sheathed, shiny black fruits of
# these two species.
#
# However, A.beladonna's root has been described as a roundish rhizome
# with a long (up to 1m) tapering root, which does not seem to match
# the highly distinctive "pancake with claws" of f1v. I have found no
# image or description of the other plants' roots.
#
# A very similar root, with quite different leaves, can be seen on
# another Italian herbal:
# University of Vermont Library MS 2, fol. 39 (ca. 1500)
# http://www.library.ucla.edu/libraries/biomed/his/immi/vm9437.htm
# The medieval text calls that plant "Gran[i]a maggiore".
# The modern commentary tentatively identifies it with
# Ecballium elaterium (Squirting Cucumber),
# http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/mi10/mi10043.jpg
# However the leaves do not match, and the flower barely so.
# I have found no image or description of E.elaterium's roots.
#
# All four plants are poisonous in varying degrees. The active
# principles can be absorbed by smoking or through the skin as well as
# by ingestion. They were used as potent psychoactive drugs, causing
# paralysis of involuntary muscles, dizziness, sleep, hallucinations,
# violent behavior, etc., and have been often associated with
# witchcraft.

# Description:
#
# One plant centered on page.
#
# Root: left-right symmetrical, planar, looking sort of like

# Overpainted with dark color.
# Stem: short and thin.
# Branches: two main ones, almost upright, slightly bent.
# Irregular thickness, awkward shape (cf. top right leaf).

# Flowers: three, on tip of main branch.

#
# Two paragraphs (with 6.4 and 5.4 lines), left- and rightjustified:

# Comments:

# The root looks rather strange, the stems and leaves are
# somewhat awkward, but the flowers look normal.
#
# Petersen tentative identification is "cyanus segetum, cornflower
# (caeruleus) (cf 153)". That must be
#
# Centaurea_cyanus (cornflower,fiodaliso;bluet,kornblume)
# http://www.lysator.liu.se/runeberg/nordflor/7.html
#
# The flower shape and branching pattern seem to match fairly well.
# However, those features are not very specific. [What about color?]
# Also, the leaves of Centaurea cyanus are long and thin, with
# smooth edges or a few very shallow teeth, attached directly to the
# stem; quite unlike those of f2r.
#
# Infusions of Centaurea cyanus were once used as a febrifugue
# (whole plant) and eye wash (flowers only).

# Plant appearance: very, very odd, badly drawn. It seems to have

# Description:
#
# One plant with no leaves and a single huge flower, spanning the
# entire height and width of the page.
#
# Root: a short, vertical, cylindrical stem that splits
# into two almost horizontal mousetails.
# Stem: straight, vertical.
# Branches: none.
# Leaves: none.
# Flowers: a single flower at the tip of the stem.
# Stalk: not visible, or indistinguishable from stem.
# Chalyx: eight symmetrical sepals, shaped like long parabolas.
# Corolla: four layers, of decreasing sizes, each having four
# symmetric petals, located diagonally with respect to
# the previous layer. Core: none.
#
# Two paragraphs (with 4.3 lines and 4.5 lines), both left- and

# Comments:

# Nymphaea alba (white water lily, seerose)
# http://www.lysator.liu.se/runeberg/nordflor/181.html
# http://linnaeus.nrm.se/flora/di/nymphaea/nymph/nympcan2.jpg
#
# There is indeed a good match in the shape and arrangement of the
# petals and sepals. Also, the lack of leaves and branches in f7v is
# plausibly explained by the fact that Nymphaea's flowers float on
# the water's surface, and thus may have been hidden from the
# artist's view.
#
# But if f7v is Nymphaea alba, then what do we make of f2v?

# Plant: 17 (Petersen)
#
# Description:
#
# One plant, flush against the right and bottom edges, reaching
# almost to the top.
#
# Root: a bundle of thin wires. Dark overpaint?
# Stem: one straight. Light color.
# Branches: two symmetrical pairs, oblique.
# Leaves: the four lower ones are medium width, lance-shaped,
# with smooth edges; the others have the same outline but
# are deeply cut into five narrow points. Dark color.
# Stalk: short, mostly missing.
# Flowers: five, at the tips of stem and branches.
# Stalk: medium length, thin. Chalyx: flat or everted, with short
# triangular sepals, partly hidden by corolla. Petals: five rounded
# petals, a large one on top, the others like "arms and legs". Core:
# very small. Medium and dark colors.
#
# Two paragraphs (with 3.7 and 7.7 lines) at the top,
# left-justified. The first one is right-justified; the second one
# follows the plant's profile on the right. Both are interrupted in
# several places by the flowers and leaves.
#
# Comments:
#
# Petersen identifies this plant, with high confidence, as "Viola
# trinitalis". I coudn't find such species, but "herba trinitatis" is
# the herbalists' name for Viola tricolor (heartsease,wild pansy) [1,2,3].
#
# Indeed, comparing f9v with a drawing by Carl Lindman [1], we see
# an almost perfect match --- including the roots, and the two types
# of leaves.
#
# Dennis Mardle [10 Oct 1998] observes that the details match also
# Viola arvensis (field pansy), which hybridises with V. tricolor
# and is very similar in shape, including especially the dimorphic
# leaves [1,4].
#
# The colors may help resolve this issue. The flowers of Viola
# tricolor are usually purple and white with yellow core; Lindman's
# drawing shows V. arvensis as white (or light blue?) with yellow
# core. Jim Reeds color list [03 Mar 1998] reports some blue on this
# page, to be confirmed.
#
# In either case, there is one odd detail: the flowers in f9v are
# upside-down. Also the two bottom flowers are somewhat differen.
#
# Viola tricolor was used internally to treat epilepsy, asthma and
# bronchitis (whole plant), as an emetic and purgative (seeds) and as
# a heart tonic (flowers). Externally it was used to treat skin
# diseases [2]. The flowers are reported to be edible.

# The extra line of text at the top of the page looks similar to the

# Description:
#
# One plant flush against the left, right and bottom edges of the page,
# filling the bottom half of the page.
#
# Root: a very broad tuber, like a fat pancake with flat light
# upper surface and dark edge. A ring of 19 "fat mousetail" roots---
# dark, short and S-shaped---sprout from the edge; they seem
# to support the "pancake" like the legs of a table.
# Stem: many short straight stems sprout separately from the top surface
# of the "pancake". Each stem ends with a leaf.
# Branches: occasional short branches, each having a
# single leaf at the tip.
# Leaves: two spindle-shaped leaves fused at the base, forming a
# "V" with fat arms and pointed tips. No leaf stalks.
# Flowers: a single flower.
# Stalk: longish. Chalyx: spindle-shaped, with small triangular
# sepals. Petals: seven small scale-shaped petals. Core: small.
#
# There are three paragraphs of text (with 4.3, 3.4, 5.9 lines)
# above the plant, flush against the top margin. Below the third one
# there is a centered line with 4-5 words; it may be part of the
# paragraph. The first two paragraphs span margin-to-margin; the
# last one is even on the left, and extends right up to the plant's
# outline on the right, even touching it.
#
# Comments:
#
# An almost identical copy of this drawing appears on f95r2. The
# drawing on this page is drawn with more skill, and the flowers are
# more detailed. The root is flatter, and its upper surface is
# ligher. Also the flowers sprout from the side of the stem, not
# from its tip as in f95r2.

#
# The mark at the SE corner is almost surely a quire number, a digit
# with a Latin abbreviation.
#
# Landini's comments say "gathering mark 5". But it looks more
# like a "seven" to me...

# Description:
#
# A large plant, flush against the right and bottom edges,
# and reaching almost to the top margin.
#
# Root: four dark teardrop-shaped tubers.
# Stem: single, straight vertical, with dark streaks.
# Branches: not visible.
# Leaves: roundish, with scalloped margins.
# Painted solid dark. Stalk: long and drooping.
# Flowers: three open flowers and many buds, sprouting from two
# sinuous, drooping branches; ome uncolored, most painted dark.
# Stalk: short. Chalix: spherical, with a short trumpet
# of fused sepals ending with a scalloped edge. Petals:
# longish in the open flowers, resembling a diver's paddle foot with three
# fingers, painted dark; folded into the chalyx in
# the immature buds. Core, stamens, and pistils: not visible.
#
# Tunneling through the tubers are two animals that could be
# snakes or earthworms: legless, with long, sinuous bodies
# ending with a rounded tail. Their head resembles that of
# a sea horse, and both have a row of dots along the back.
#
# There are three paragraphs (with 3.0, 7.6, 9.6 lines).
# The first one, squeezed above the plant, is left- and
# (roughly) right-justified. The other two, that lie
# between 1/4 and 3/4 of the page's vertical extent,
# are left-justified, and follow the plant's outline at right.
#
# Comments:
#
# The head and snout details of the snakes resemble those of the
# "baby dragon" in f???. There is a resemblance also to the fishes
# in the Pisces symbol (f???) and the birds in the "Garden of Eden"
# page (f???).
#
# It is not clear how the "snakes" are related to the plant.

#
# A circular diagram.
#
# Eight concentric mechanically drawn circles delimit four text
# rings, which are divided into 4 quadrants by straight lines in
# the NE, NW, SW, and SE directions. The lines are drawn with ruler,
# but do not quite meet at the center (They may be modern additions
# to the copy). there is an isolated word outside the outer circle.
#
# At the center is a simple rosette, with 4 short and 4 long rounded
# lobes, with a circle and a dot in the middle.
#
# Inside the inner circle there are four naked human figures,
# visible from the chest up, heads towards the center.
# Two are male, two female; two are seen mostly from the front
# two mostly from the back; two have both arms raised, two have
# only one. Here are the combinations:
#
# North: male, back, two arms straight in "V".
# West: female, front, one arm straight at 45 degrees.
# South: female, back, two arms straight in "V".
# East: male, front, one arm forward then bent up, holding a ball.
#
# There are 8 words inside the inner circle. Four of them radiate
# from the rosette, roughly along the diagonal lines. The other
# four are tangential (but with straight baselines), to be read
# in the clockwise direction; it is not clear whether they
# label the four figures, or the spaces between them.

# The text is laid out in 3 columns. For each line:
#
# The left-most column contains either a single Voynich ``word'' or is blank.
# The middle column contains a single single ``character'' or a ligature.
# The right column contains a line of what appears to be normal Voynich text.
#
# The text on the right is laid out in paragraphs i.e. most lines are about the
# same length, occasionally there is a shorter line (with blank space to the
# right) followed by some vertical blank space before the next paragraph
# starts.
#
# In the top right hand corner there is a number "66" in ordinary numerals.
#
# In the bottom left hand corner, there is a picture of a woman
# lying down on her back (dead?). To the left of the woman are two
# circles and a cylinder. Above her are four words in Voynich text.
# To the far left are four words in a different hand and a different
# alphabet. To me they look like:

#
# Description:
#
# One plant occupies the bottom 2/3 of the page.
#
# Roots: four thin stalks, arcing down, each ending with a tuber shaped like
# a chili pepper pod. The tubers are almost horizontal, pointing outwards,
# and resemble four feet wearing pointy shoes.
# Stem: short and thick, dark-painted very crudely .
# Branches: none.
# Leaves: each leaf consists of a dense stack of parallel leaflets.
# curled inwards. The distal leaflets are bigger, so that the leaf
# is shaped like a truncated cone, with the narrow end down.
# Very weird-looking. Alternate leaflets are dark-painted.
# Stalks: about as long as the stem, slightly S-shaped.
# Flowers: two, one on each side.
# Stalks: medium long, thin, slightly curve, branching off
# diagonally from each the leaf axilla. Chalix: olive-shaped,
# with short, flaring, triangular sepals; medium-dark.
# Petals: triangular, dark. Core: not visible.
#
# Above the plant there are three paragraphs (with 4.6, 2.8, 4.9
# lines, respectively), flush with the top, left, and right margins.
# The last line is interrupted by the plant.
#
# There is a faint scribbling to the left of the root. It looks like
# an illegible word surmounted by a large EVA "l", followed by a very
# crude stick man with rectangular head and eyes, wearing two
# superimposed EVA "l"s as a hat.
#
# The bottom edge of the page has an indentation, about 1cm deep
# near the middle of the edge, extending from there to the SW corner.
#
# There is a mark in the SE corner, resembling "8" with superscript
# "ug".
#
# Comments:
#
# The plant looks very strange and inelegant, it was very poorly
# drawn.
#
# Since the roots barely touch the edge of this tear, without
# crossing it, we can presume that the the defect was already there
# when the plant was drawn..
#
# The mark in the SE corner is almost surely the quire number, "8th"
# in abbreviated Latin.

# Description:
#
# The page is dominated by a circular diagram, surmounted by a single

#
# The diagram is framed by three rings of text, delimited by

# by two radial strokes and a decorated design.
#
# At the center of the diagram there is a cicle of small "pearls",
# containing a woman's(?) face, with crossed eyes and a bored or
# displeased look. The space between them is dark (hair? shadow?).
#
# This small circle is surrounded by elongated triangular spikes, painted
# solid dark, forming a 12-pointed star. The gaps between consecutive
# spikes are filled by kite-shaped regions, with the sharp corner pointing inward.
# The result is another "fat" star with 12 chubby points and finely serrated outlines.
# Each "kite" is split along its diagonal; the clockwise half is painted
# solid dark, the other one is filled with little stars.
#
# The space between the "fat star" and the outer circle is divided into
# 24 sectors, containing alternately a label and one or two stars.
# (The "star" sectors are those aligned with the starry half-kites.)
#
# In the SE corner there is a mark resembling a "9" with "ng" superscript.
#
# Comments:
#
# The central face probably represents the moon.
#
# The mark in the SE corner is almost certainly the quire number,
# "9th" in abbreviated Latin.

# Description:
#
# A circular diagram, defined by 7 concentric mechanically drawn
# circles.
#
# Circles 1 and 2 (from the outside in) define a narrow band of
# decoration, consisting of 24 copies of a "scroll"-like or
# "resistor"-like object. Circles 3 and 4 define another narrow
# empty band; same for circles 6 and 7.
#
# Between circles 2 and 3 there is a band of coloured (red?) text,
# consisting of 12 phrases separated by wide gaps (unit "Y"). They
# don't line up perfectly with inner sectors (see below), but appear
# to be spaced as if the intent was there.
#
# Between circles 4 and 5 there is a broad band, divided into 12
# sectors by straight radial lines, unevenly spaced. Each sector
# contains two or three lines of text, reading clockwise, with straight
# or curved baselines (unit "C").
#
# Near the bottom (innner) edge of each sector there is a round moon
# with crescent shadow and human face. Seven of the moons have a
# label just above (i.e. outwards of) them (unit "L").
#
# This table shows the number of lines in units "C" and "L" and the
# moon colours (light/medium/dark), starting from 08:30:
#
# O'clock 08: 09: 10: 11: 00: 01: 02: 03: 04: 05: 06: 07: (+:30)
# Number #01 #02 #03 #04 #05 #06 #07 #08 #09 #10 #11 #12
#
# C lines 3.5 2.0 3.0 3.0 2.5 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 3.0 3.0 3.0
# L labels -- lab -- lab -- lab lab lab lab -- -- lab
# colours lt dk lt dk md dk lt lt dk dk lt dk
#
# Between circles 5 and 6 there is a single row of text, containing 12
# labels (unit "X"), apparently associated with the sectors and/or
# moons in the band above.
#
# Inside circle 7 there is another ring of text, with 8 erratically spaced
# labels (unit "Z").
#
# At the center of the diagram there is an eight-pointed star/flower
# with an "orange slice" background. The eight arms are not
# particularly aligned with the 8 labels of the innermost text circle.
# The star arm at 08:30 has a dotted tail extending out between two
# labels.
#
# Below the diagram there is a normal-looking paragraph (unit "P")
# with 3.0 lines. According to John Grove these are only lines in
# the MS that are ruled. The center line of text is coloured (red?)
# and its strokes seem to be heavier than those of the other two.
#
# Comments:
#
# It is possible that the text in all the sectors between radial
# lines 10:00 and 5:00 comprises a single paragraph with three and a
# half lines. The same can be said of the remaining sectors.
#
# Robert Firth once suggested that the seven named moons may be the
# the seven Ptolemaic planets.
#
# Since line 2 of the paragraph is colored, each line is probably
# a separate sentence.

# Description:
#
# A circular diagram with four smaller circular medallions touching
# it at the NE, SE, SW and NW corners.
#
# The main diagram is framed by a band delimited by two faint,
# concentric, mechanically drawn circles, centered on the page. The
# outer circle touches the vertical edges of the page.
#
# Between these two circles there are four "captions", North, South,
# East and West (text units "C1", "C2", "C3", and "C4",
# respectively), each in two short lines, reading clockwise.
#
# In the center of the large diagram there is an irregular square,
# within which is inscribed another circle, within which is a star
# with 6 or 7 arms. The space between the star and the circle is
# filled with "spiral galaxy" hatching, whose "arms" bend
# counterclockwise-out. There are two words above the square
# (unit "S1") and another two below it (unit "S2").
#
# From the square, lines radiate out in the E, S, W, and N
# directions. Each of these four lines is labeled (units "L1"
# through "L4") and terminates with a branching structure.
#
# Lines come in towards the square from the perimeter of the large
# circle in the NW, NE, SE and SW direction. Each of these four
# lines is labeled (units "L5" through "L8") and terminates with a
# branching structure. Nested in these structures are two suns (NW
# and SE) and two moons (NE and SW), all with faces.
#
# The small circles in the corners contain between three and four
# human faces, joined by lines. NE circle: four faces connected by a
# cross, and one label (unit "F2"). SE circle: four faces, in "L"
# pattern (with the second face centered on the vertical and wearing
# a pointy hat), and one label (unit "F1"). SW circle: four faces at each
# point of a square "U", on a coloured background; the two on the
# bottom of the "U" are upside down. (John Grove speculates that
# there is a fourth face hidden behind the first one on L5). NW
# circle: three circular faces with one face on each point of a
# reversed "4".
#
# Comments:
#
# This is the folio Newbold claimed showed an annular eclipse. See
# also John Manley's 1931 article in Speculum: ``Furthermore, I
# invite the reader to examine carefully Plate IV and say whether it
# bears any resemblance whatever to an annular eclipse.''

# Description:
#
# The page contains only a circular diagram. At the center there is
# a large sun with 18 narrow undulating rays (with two of them
# joined; see below). The sun has a face with a short "frame" beard,
# broad smile, crossed eyes, a skullcap. At the temples, two locks
# of light wavy hair escape from under the cap.
#
# There are 17 short titles radiating out of the center, towards the
# diagram's outer frame (unit "Y"). Each of these radial titles
# starts near the tip of a sun ray, except for the title at 02:00,
# which is connected by thin wavy lines to the tips of two sun rays,
# at 02:00 and 02:30. The text reads outwards, so it is upside down
# from 06:30 through 11:30.
#
# In each sector between consecutive radial titles there are from
# one to four stars, 39 in total. Clockwise from the double sun ray,
# the counts per sector are
#
# *
# * * * * *
# * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
# * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
# 3 2 1 2 2 2 2 3 4 2 2 3 3 2 2 2 2
#
# Around the diagram there is a narrow band divided into segments, 6
# at the top and 6 at the bottom. The band has wide gaps at left and
# right, where it gets too near the margin. Each segment contains a
# label enclosed in a decorative frame (unit "X").
#
# Comments:
#
# The double ray may be where the stext starts. This guess is
# supported by the line-initial EVA "p". (There is another "p" at
# 04:15 and an "f" at 06:30, but they are not line-initial.)
#
# It is not certain that the labels in the outer band are
# associated with the rays. The gap on the left side is
# definitely empty, and that on the right appears to be so.
# Thus there are only 12, or at most 14, labels in the band.
#
# The decoration in the outer band includes 24 copies of the
# "notched square" symbol, with double vertical edges.

# At the center there is a circle framed by another ring of text,
# also between two faint circles. The interior is divided into three
# parts by an upside-down "T". The top quarters contain a word each;
# the bottom half contains three lines of text. The circles and the
# "T" are mechanically drawn.
#
# Surrounding the central circle is an irregular "ocean" with a dotted
# texture and a meandering outline. The outline is doubled in places
# in a way that suggests a sunken pond, or a shape cut out
# from thick cardboard.
#
# Eight hand-drawn, inward-reading text bands, curved like the
# "arms" of a galaxy, connect the outer frame of the diagram with
# the center figure. The four arms that start at mid-quadrant merge
# into the "ocean", while the other four continue over the ocean and
# merge with the inner circle of text, 45 degrees counterclockwise
# of their starting point on the outer circle.
#
# The four arms that connect to the center divide the "ocean" into
# four sectors. Each sector contains five unnamed stars, except the
# West sector, that has six of them. (The anomaly may have to do with
# the fact that one of the six stars is right on top of the fold-out's
# crease.)
#
# Comments:
#
# The outline of the "galactic bulge" seems to
# represent water in other illustrations. Here the ocean's outline is
# drawn with a displaced "echo", as if it were a pool, or a thick
# puzzle piece.

# Description:
#
# The page contains a circular diagram, under a paragraph
# with 5.0 lines (unit "P"). The last line is interrupted
# by the diagram.
#
# The diagram is framed by a circular band of text (unit "C"),
# between two concentric mechanically drawn thin circles. (An
# extra-wide gap at 10:30 may be the starting point.)
#
# At the center there is a figure that looks pretty much like a
# flower, with eight almond-shaped petals. The petals have serrated
# edges, and overlap randomly. (However some pairs of petals seem to
# be fused.) The petals have been painted in a dark color.
#
# At the very center of this "flower" there is an irregular star,
# with twisted rays, in a different color.
#
# The "flower"'s outline ia an eight-sided star, resembling two
# concentric squares rotated 45 degrees apart. From the tips
# of each "petal", there sprouts a straight narrow tendril.
# Each tendril soon turns into a radial text line, reading outwards
# (unit "R"). Some of the text is therefore upside down.
#
# The eight sectors defined by these rays alternately contain a
# bunch of unnamed stars, or two radial labels (unit "S"), collinear
# and reading outwards, with a single star between them. Clockwise
# from the division at 11:30 there are 9, 1, 8, 1, 9, 1, 9, 1 stars,
# i.e. 35 unlabeled ones and 4 labeled ones. The 03:00 sector (with 8
# stars) has a speckled blotch behind and between two stars.
#
# Comments:
#
# The small central flower may be the Sun. Or it may represent the
# stamens/pistils of the large flower surrounding it.
#
# The speckles in the 03:00 sector possibly represent a more distant
# star cluster.
#
# The radial lines should probably be read starting from 10:30, at
# the gap in the outer text ring. Besides, that ray is the only one
# that contains any EVA "p" (two of them).

# Description:
#
# The page contains only a circular diagram, framed by two faint

#
# The whole is surrounded by another thin circle, about 1cm further
# out, that begins looking mechanically drawn but at some point
# wanders off and fails to close on itself, as if the fixed leg of the
# compass had skipped a bit. (However, this outermost circle may be a
# modern scribble on the copy.)
#
# A thick radial stroke at 10:30 connects this outermost circle to the

# Another pair of thick radial strokes at 10:00 connects the second
# and third circles, breaking the second text ring.
#
# At the center of the diagram is a sun, with narrow flipped
# S-shaped rays and a human face (with neutral expression, straight
# hair combed back at the sides, held by a narrow headband with
# dots.)
#
# Surrounding the sun is a "starry windmill": a fat star with
# serrated outline, consisting of 16 sectors shaped like narrow
# kites, each split radially into a "light" (clockwise) half, with a
# dotted line and some small stars, and a "dark" half, painted with
# a solid dark color. Clockwise from the 10:00 point, the light
# half-sectors contain the following counts of stars:
#
# 4 4 4 3 4 4 5 6 6 6 7 7 6 5 5 5

# * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
# * * * * * * * * * *
# * * * * * *
# * *
#
# All told there are 66 stars. (But the star count of 7 in the 06:30
# sector may be an 8.
#
# Thin radial lines connect each point of the star to the
# inner edge of the frame. The 16 sectors defined by these lines
# are alternatingly filled with unnamed stars, or labeled with
# a radial text line, reading outwards. Clockwise from the
# 10:00 ray, the sectors contain the following counts:
#
# 8 7 7 8 9 9 8 7

# * * * * * * * *
# * * * * * * * *
# * * * * * * * *
# * * * * * * * *
# * * * * *
# * *
#
# There are 63 stars in total.
#
# There is a comet-tail-like object behind one of the stars in
# the 03:00 sector.
#
# Comments:
#
# It is not clear whether the "start here" strokes at 10:00-10:30
# are original, or modern guesses scribbled on the copy. If the
# latter, then they seem wrong, because those word gaps are quite
# ordinary and not aligned.
#
# Another possible starting place is at 01:15, where both rings have
# aligned, extra-wide word breaks.
#
# On the other hand, the EVA "p" on the the 10:30 radial line suggests
# that that is indeed the first line.
#
# The center figure is probably female.
#
# Note that the small and large star counts are almost the same (67
# and 63); perhaps 64 was the intended number. Note also that the
# small star counts are unimodal. The big star counts would be
# unimodal too if the 11:00 sector had 7 stars, or the 09:30 sector
# had 8. The latter seems more likely as it would have bumped the
# number of big stars to 64. In both sequences the minimum is around
# 01:10 (the aligned breaks!) and the maximum around 07:00.
#
# The "tail" in the 03:00 sector may mean that one of the stars is a comet.

#
# Description:
#
# The page contains a circular diagram, under a single paragraph
# (unit "P") with 3.9 lines.
#
# The diagram is bounded by a faint mechanically drawn circle. Just
# inside it is a circular band of text (unit "C"), reading clockwise.
# This text is divided into 16 sectors; see below for details.
#
# Most of the area inside the diagram is occupied by a flower-like
# figure. The core of the flower is a thin mechanically drawn
# circle, containing a star with six narrow, pointed arms. Each arm
# has three coloured bands near the point.
#
# The rays of the star divide the interior of the circle into six
# unequal sectors, each labeled with a Voynichese letter (unit "W").
# There is no obvious starting place.
#
# Surrounding the central disk is a band of text (unit "S"), with a
# discernible gap at 10:00. Surrounding the text is another thin
# mechanically drawn circle, slightly eccentric.
#
# Sprouting from the second circle are 45 thin radial lines ("flower
# stalks"), extending almost all the way to the outer text band, each
# of them terminating in an object that looks like a shallow conical
# cup (perhaps a stylized flower, resembling a California poppy).
# The "flowers" touch each other, forming a continuous ring.
#
# The 45 sectors defined by the flower stalks are alternatingly
# "empty" and filled with 22 radial lines of text (unit "R"),
# reading outwards. This leaves two adjacent empty sectors at 02:00.
# The first of these two empty sectors (going clockwise) is cut by
# an extra radial line that passes between the two flower cups and
# extends all the way to the outer circle. The clockwise half of
# this sector is is decorated with abstract patterns.
#
# Some of the "empty" sectors have a stripe of dark paint, displaced
# to one side. There are 12 dark stripes, starting with the 3rd
# sector after the decorated "marker", and then spaced
#
# 2,4,4,2,4,6,2,4,6,2,4
#
# sectors apart (always clockwise).
#
# The space between the "ring of flowers" and the outer circle is
# divided into sixteen sectors by another set of radial lines, thin
# and wavy. These lines divide the outer band of text into sixteen
# phrases, each containing a few whole words. One of these lines is
# the extra radial line at 02:00, that defined the decorated band.
# The other fifteen lines start at the flower ring, either between
# two adjacent flowers (13 cases) or at the middle of a flower (2
# cases). These lines thus divide the "flower ring" too into
# sections, which, clockwise from the "start marker" line contain
#
# 2, 2, 2.5, 3.5, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3.5, 3.5, 3, 3, 2, 3
#
# flower cups.
#
# Comments:
#
# The dark stripes in some sectors may have been the result of the
# hypothetical "Dark Painter" mistaking the spaces between the
# radial lines by solid cylinders, and tried to shade them
# accordingly. Unfortunately that "obvious" interpretation is
# excluded when one looks closely at how the radial lines connect to
# the "cups". Of course the "shadows" have made the error easier to
# make.
#
# There is no obvious place to start reading the letters between
# the star arms; but if one starts at 11:00 (the smallest sector)
# the letters spell out "dolsedy"; which may be an unexpected
# splitting of "dolshdy", a rather common word.
#
# The radial lines and the outer text probably start at the
# decorated band at 02:00. On the other hand, the decorated band may
# be just a filler addded to patch up a mistake (the attempt to fit
# an alternating pattern into an odd number of sectors).

# Description:
#
# The page contains only a circular diagram, framed by three faint
# mechanically drawn circles and three rings of text (unit "C").
#
# The first ring of text lies just inside circle #1 (the outermost
# one). Only the top half of the ring is filled, and mostly with
# dots and circles; the text proper is only a couple of words.
#
# Text rings #2 and #3 lie just outside circles #2 and #3. There are
# extra-wide word gaps at about 10:30, not aligned, and smaller but
# aligned gaps at 01:30.
#
# Inside the frame there is a textured and lightly-colored disk,
# whose outline is broken by nine features with frilled edges that
# resemble fat mushrooms, or squashed cauliflowers, or sea anemones
# without tentacles, or... um... well....
#
# Between the text frame and the "mushroom thing" there are nine
# radial phrases (unit "Y"), each with two or three words, reading
# inwards, starting near the frame and ending in the notch between
# two consecutive "mushrooms".
#
# At the center of the diagram there us a star with six slender arms,
# inscribed in a circle with many short and rounded fingers.
# Between the star arms there are six labels (unit "X"), reading inwards.
#
# A faint straight radial line extends from the 10:30 arm and
# bisects the corresponding mushroom (which happens to be the
# smallest one).
#
# Just outside the many-fingered disk there is a ring of text
# (unit "I"). Its starting point seems to be the radial line at 10:30.
#
# Comments:
#
# The starting point of the outer ring is probably at the aligned gaps
# at 01:30, although the person who scribbled on the copy seemed
# to prefer the non-aligned gaps at 10:30.
#
# The starting point of the outer labels may be at 01:30 too, since
# that label has a "p" gallows. Another possibility is the label at
# 10:30, just counterclockwise of the smalest "mushroom" (and of its
# bisecting line).
#
# John Grove thinks that the labels were written counter-clockwise
# as those that are upside down are the ones between 6:00-1:00.

# Description:
#
# The first panel (f70r2 proper) contains a circular diagram framed

# outer rings, and one at 09:05, breaking the two inner rings.
#
# The second (half-)panel contains a paragraph with 13.7 lines of text
# (unit "P"), part of which spans the fold between the two panels.
#
# Inside the diagram's frame is an eight-pointed flower (or chubby
# star), with serrated outline. A narrow channel or stem connects
# the tip of each of the star arms to the frame.
#
# Inside the flower there is a sun, containing a ring of text (unit
# "I"), and inside it a human (woman's?) face with crossed eyes and
# smooth light hair. The sun has eight S-shaped rays directed along
# the star's arms, interleaved with eight long spikes with a bulbous
# base, each touchng the diagram's frame.
#
# Comments:
#
# Speculation is that the two inner circles are one paragraph since
# they share the single line marker at 09:05, and the two outermost
# are another paragraph since they share the double line marker at
# 10:00.
#
# However those lines may be modern guesses. The aligned gaps
# at 12:00 on the two outer rings and at 06:00 on the two inner rings
# are equally plausible.

# Description:
#
# Three concentric rings of text (units "R1" through "R3", inner to
# outer), each bounded by a pair of faint, mechanically drawn
# circles.
#
# Just outside the innermost ring of text there is a narrow band of
# abstract decoration (Greek-like meanders, notched strips,
# hatching, etc., and "notched square" motifs), delimited by another
# mechanical circle.
#
# One can see a small portion (the Northwest quarter, mostly) of
# another mechanical circle, just inside the middle ring of text.
# This arc of circle appears to bound, and even clip, the "nymph"
# drawings inside it (see below).
#
# In the centre of the diagram there are two fish, the top one
# facing West, the bootom one facing East. Each fish has a long,
# smooth, pointed snout (vaguely like a tapir's) and horizontal
# mouth (the top fish is smiling, the other is sad). The body is
# slender like a sturgeon's, with four rows of coarse scales.
# To the body are attached a triangular tail, pectoral and ventral fins
# (presumably paired), and two short dorsal fins (one just behind
# the head, one 2/3 of the way to the tailfin). The tailfin is lobed
# and divided into "feathers", like a bird's tail.
#
# There is a seven-pointed star above the fish, with a Voynichese
# label (unit "C"); and another one below, unlabeled. Between the
# two fish there is a word in non-Voynich script, whose strokes
# seem thicker and more angular than the Voynichese label above.
#
# Two thin threads connect the fishes' mouths to the top star. The
# threads merge just below the star, and connect to it between its
# two lower rays. Both threads run clockwise; the lower one passing
# below the fishes, thickens shortly after leaving the fish's mouth,
# and at its lowest point it sends off a branch that connects to the
# highest ray of the bottom star.
#
# Between the inner and middle rings of text there is a broad band
# containing 10 human figures or "nymphs", each coming out of a
# horizontal cylinder. These cylinders look like sections of
# drainage pipe, with flanges at both ends (cf. f78r). All
# cylinders, except the one at 11:00, open counterclockwise, and the
# nymphs face in the same direction. The nymphs have most of their
# legs inserted horizontally into the "pipes", but bend quite
# unnaturaly, bacwards or sideways, so that their torso is upright
# (i.e. radial, with the head outwards).
#
# Between the middle and the outer text rings are 19 (not 20)
# nymphs. All are standing (radially, with the head outwards); all
# are in frontal view, or slightly turned towards the clockwise
# direction. Each of these nymphs is inside an upright barrel or
# basket, reaching up to her waist (with only a couple of
# exceptions). In proportion to the nymph, the barrel is about two
# feet wide, and has a "lip" a couple of inches wide. All barrels
# are decorated with various abstract patterns---stripes, hatchings,
# circles, waves, etc.. The base of the barrel is hidden by the text
# band. The four nymphs at the top, between 11:00 and 01:00 are
# smaller and more cramped than the rest (and so are their barrels).
#
# All figures are naked, and seem to be female: all have (or may
# have) full breasts, and many have visible nipples. (But the inner
# nymph at 09:00 seems to have nipples below her breasts.)
#
# There is a star (or flower) next to each nymph, supported by a
# wire-like tail---sometimes straight, sometimes S-shaped. All inner
# nymphs except 10:00, 09:00, 08:00 are holding their stars by the
# "tails". All other nymphs have their hands hidden inside the
# barrels, and the star tails are coming out of the containers or
# cylinders.
#
# Each of the 29 figures is labeled with a ``word'' or phrase of
# Voynich text (text units "S1" and "S2", inner and outer bands).
# The spacing suggests the label is always placed at the right (i.e.
# clockwise) of the corresponding nymph.
#
# The following table summarizes the nymph attributes. The "spos"
# column says whether the star is placed clockwise ("cw") or
# counterclockwise ("ccw") of the nymph; for inner nymphs that is
# also the direction where the tube is open. The "hold" column says
# whether the nymph is holding the star (by a ray, or by the tail if
# present). The "brst" column tells whether the nymph has visible
# female breasts.

# STYLE AND LAYOUT
#
# Although the nypmhs are a bit awkwards and deformed, it looks as
# if this drawing was done with more care than the other "Zodiac"
# diagrams. (However, this impression may be due simply to better
# preervation or reproduction.)
#
# The fishes look quite realistic, except for the mouths. However
# they may have been "invented" rather than copied from real models.
#
# The barrels in the outer group are not well drawn; the sides are
# neither parallel nor radial (i.e.vertical), especially in the one
# at 10:45. The perspective is not quite correct ---the top is
# tilted too much towards the viewer, and in four cases (05:30,
# 06:30, 10:15, 10:45) it is drawn as an eye, not an ellipse. The
# decoration however curves around the barrel, as it should.
#
# It seems that the artist planned to add another band of decoration
# just inside the middle text ring. He/she lightly sketched the
# inner bounding circle of that band, and carefully avoided it while
# drawing the inner nymphs from 08:00 to 01:00. (By the way, this
# explains why the nymph at 07:30 has her face crammed against the
# fold.) But the nymphs from 01:00 to 08:00 overflowed that circle
# (perhaps because it was too faint in those parts), and the band
# was left undecorated.
#
# From the kinks in the circles, and the appearance of figures and
# text near the fold, its seems that the fold was already present
# when the drawing was made.
#
# THE FISH EMBLEM
#
# The two fish are obviously the astrological symbol for Pisces,
# which is February 20th to March 20th.
#
# Rene Zandbergen [23 Feb 96] reports seeing an illustration of the
# Pisces symbol [2] very similar to the center picture of f70v2, in
# anatomy and proportions.
#
# Rene [14 Mar 1997] notes that whenever there are two things in a
# zodiac symbol (Cancer, Libra), or two copies of a diagram (Taurus,
# Aries), one is light and the other is dark; but pisces is an
# exception. (But "dark" and "light" may be just reproduction noise;
# we should look at the original colors.)
#
# THE "MONTH NAME"
#
# The word between the fish could be "(m|n)((a|ci)(v|r)|w)(c|g)" in
# Latin script, and is traditionally read "mars". Mars is French for
# March. The first letter resembles the last letter of <f116v.P.1>
# (the "michiton" line).
#
# THE CENTRAL STARS
#
# Don Latham [25 Apr 1997] notes that the star must be al-rischa
# (the rope-knot) from his constellation atlas. [The label is
# "otolal" in the best transcription.] Rene [5 Jan 1998] reports
# howeer that "alrischa" is a late assignment.
#
# Mark Sulla [26 Apr 1997] adds that
#
# Hipparchos and Ptolemy called it "sundesmos ton ikhthuon" or
# "ton linon". Cicero et al called it "nodus", or "nodus
# caelestis" and "nodus piscium" Pliny called it the "commissura
# Piscium" The Almagest called it "nodus duorum filorum". The
# asterism of the threads was variously called "vincla",
# "alligamentum" "linteum" or "luteum". Hevelius subdivided it
# into the "linum boream" and "austrinum". [1]
#
# Rene [28 Apr 1997] observes however that the label need not be the
# name, it could be some indication of its position: X deg Y min. He
# also notes that alrischa belongs with the *constellation* of
# Pisces, not the *sign*.
#
# Rene [28 Apr 1997] suggests that Polaris would be a possible
# candidate for the star, on account of its distinguished position
# in the VMS. Don Latham [] objects, why should Polaris be in
# Pisces?
#
# Denis Mardle [28 Apr 97] notes that "otolal" does not seem to
# occur in his files, but "otalal" does occur on <f58r.11;F>,
# <f68v3.O.1;C>, <f70v2.R1.1;C>, <f71r.15A;K>, <f72v1.R3.1;C>,
# <f107r.22;F>.
#
# THE TEXT RINGS
#
# According to Denis Mardle [14 Mar 97], the nymphs in tubes suggest
# that the diagram should be read from the inside out.
# (Unfortunately most text unit have been numbered the other way...)
#
# Denis also observes [14 Mar 97] that a line through the two stars
# in the center points 11:00, and goes through the only inner nymph
# who is facing clockwise. Stolfi [here] thinks that the odd nymph
# was reversed so as to face the 12:00 gap, and the 12:00 nymph
# (with oustretched arm), because that is the "important" place in
# that band.
#
# THE NYMPHS
#
# Stolfi [11 Aug 1998] observes that f70v2 seems to go against the
# general trend of the Zodiac section: as one goes from Aries to
# Sagittarius, the nymphs get progressivley less clothed and more
# exposed. So perhaps f70v2 was drawn after Aries.
#
# Rene [14 Mar 1997] thinks that the nymphs coming out of tubes
# strongly suggest birth (whether it be a person or the cosmos). On
# the other hand, the disappearance of the barrels in subsequent
# diagrams may be simply a result of the artist becoming more hasty.
#
# Rene [14 Mar 1997] suggests also that the nymphs in tubes could
# be linked with the alchemical concept of creation of a homunculus.
#
# NYMPH/STAR COUNT
#
# This folio is exceptional in having only 29 nymphs and stars. Rene
# [8 May 1996] suggests that the star in the center may be the
# missing 30th star. (But then why not count the other central star,
# too?) He also mentions Pietro d'Abano, a 14th century occultist,
# in whose astrological system each sign was divided into 30 "faces"
# or parts.
#
# Robert Firth [note 20] conjectures that the "29" was a mistake,
# and the number should have been "30", like all other "months".
# But that is the Pharaonic Egyptian calendar; why would anyone
# revive it?
#
# Stolfi [here] thinks the artist had planned to draw 20 nymphs in the
# outer band, by drawing 4 small ones at the top, then 4 more in each of
# the four quadrants. This he did in the first three quadrants, going
# clockwise; but then he got confused (perhaps by the fold), and drew only
# 3 nymphs in the last quadrant, from 09:00 to 12:00.
#
# THE STAR LABELS
#
# Denis Mardle [27 Mar 97] notes that 16 of the star labels start
# with EVA "ok", 8 start with "ot", 2 start with "yt" --- and yet all
# are different.
#
# Denis also notes that S1.13 and S1.14 both occur on Libra, f72v1.
# Robert Firth [note 07] observes similarities between the nymph
# labels on f72v2 and those in the Biological page f82v.
#
# WHY PISCES?
#
# Guy Thibault [4 Mar 1996] finds it strange that the VMS zodiac
# begins with Pisces, instead of Aries as is usual in astrology.
# Robert Firth [note 20] observes that the Egyptian year began in
# our July, with the heliacal rising of Sirius.
#
# Dan Moonhawk Alford [4 Mar 1996] and Adams Douglas [29 Apr 1997]
# note that Pisces is actually astronomically correct (and has been
# for many centuries). But Robert asks --- why, alone of all works
# of Western astrology, is the Voynich Zodiac true to the stars?
#
# Rayman Maleki [08 Sep 1997] says that a 15th century rebirth of
# astrology and medicine gave Pisces astrological control over the
# body. Pictures from this time often have a person standing firmly
# on the fish. He mentions a drawing of an apothecary shop in Prague
# that had two fish as symbol on the sign.
#
# Rayman [08 Sep 1997] suggests that, alternatively, Pisces may be
# the beginning of the planting year. Or the VMS may be a reading
# for someone born in Pisces. Rene [17 Jul 1998] proposes as a
# possible VMs author a certain George of Trebizond, who "had a firm
# belief in astrology and wrote that his fated life was controlled
# by his birth in the sign of Pisces." Moreover, he was once jailed
# because of his `libido'.
#
# Glen Claston [25 Feb 1998] says that he saw EVA "&169" used as a
# power seal symbol related to Pisces, in a book on Honorius in an
# occult shop, but the book gave no reference to its origin.
# (Honorius was 13th? century but all related symbols in the
# paperback were 14th century.)
#
# Rene [21 Apr 1997] and Denis [24 Apr 97] mention a set of
# conjuntions of Saturn and Jupiter in 1464, 1524 and 1583 in
# Pisces; the 1524 was believed to announce a terrible deluge
# because of the watery sign.
#
# ZODIAC, OR SOMETHING ELSE?
#
# Guy Thibault [4 Mar 1996] suggests that the signs could stand for
# years in the life of an individual, and each nymph for a month;
# and that the "kings' and "queens" could be real historical people.
# The 9 nymphs in tubes of this picture could be the 9 months in the
# womb. Robert Firth [note 07] proposes a similar idea - that the
# "zodiac" is a list of "lucky" and "unlucky" days.
#
# Rene [8 Mar 1996] takes up Guy's suggestion and estimates that the
# individual shoudl have been 25-30 years old at the time of
# writing, or died at that age. But there are 10, not 9 nymphs in
# horizontal tubes, so this period is more likely post-natal than
# pre-natal. As for kings and queens, he mentions that Agrippa's
# sister became queen of Navarre...

#
# Description:
#
# A circular diagram defined by three narrow concentric bands, each
# delimited by two faint, mechanically drawn circles.
#
# The innermost band is quite narrow, and empty. The middle and
# outer bands contain each a ring of text, reading clockwise. The
# text in the middle band (unit "R1") has a slightly wider word gap
# at 06:00, and is interrupted at 08:30 by a black irregular spot.
# (The same spot appears on the facing page f71r, quod videt.) The
# text in the outer band (unit "R2") has a noticeably wider word gap
# at 03:45. Both rings are penetrated at 10:30 by "stars"---see
# below).
#
# Inside the innermost band is a four-legged, hoofed animal
# resembling a beardless goat. The animal has short fur
# (dark-colored), sharp horns that curve packwards, and a short and
# chubby tail. It also seems to have a crest of short hairs running
# along the spine, from head to tip of tail.
#
# The animal is nibbling at a bush, standing on a scalloped (rocky?)
# ground. Below the animal's belly is a non-Voynichese word.
#
# In the broad space between the ouer and middle bands there are 10
# human figures, or "nymphs"; and 5 more in the space between the
# middle and inner bands---or 15 nymphs in total. Each nymph is
# standing (radially, with the head outwards) in frontal view, or
# slightly turned towards the corresponding "star" (see below). All
# nymphs look female; most have prominent breasts, and the two
# exceptions (in frontal view) are rather poorly drawn, so the lack
# of breasts is not conclusive.
#
# Some of the nymphs are dressed, but the nipples and body outline
# often show threough the dress. Most nymphs, even naked ones, wear
# some kind of headgear (hat, veil, diadem, etc.)
#
# Every nymph is standing inside an upright cylindrical container or
# "barrel". In proportion to the nymph, the barrel is about two feet
# wide, and has a "lip" a couple of inches wide. It usually reaches
# up to the nymph's pelvis---sometimes bit lower, sometimes up to
# her chest. Most of the barrels are decorated with distinctive
# patterns of bars, dots, hatchings, circles, scales, etc.; but two
# barrels have only a ring of dots, near the top edge, and three are
# undecorated. The base of the barrel is hidden by the text band.
#
# Each nymph has a star or flower by her head; usually on the
# clockwise side, with four exceptions (inner 00:00, 02:30, 05:00,
# and outer 03:30). Some stars have wire-like tails or stems. The
# star at 10:30 in the inner band has a thicker, distinctive tail,
# like a banded snake. Moreover, the two stars at 10:30 (inner and
# outer) intrude slightly into the surrounding text ring.
#
# Some nymphs are holding their stars (by a ray or by the tail);
# others are pointing at them; and some have both hands on the hips,
# usually hidden by the barrel.
#
# Between every two nymphs there is a one- or two-word label (units
# "S1" and "S2"), reading clockwise. From the spacing, it would seem
# that every label refers to the preceding nymph, going clockwise.
#
# The following table summarizes the nymph and star attributes. The
# "spos" column gives the position of the star relative to the
# nymph: "cw" if clockwise, "ccw" if counterclockwise. The "deco"
# column tells whether the barrel has "full" decoration, or just a
# ring of "dots", or "no" decoration at all. The "dres" and "brst"
# columns say whether the nymph is dressed and has visible female
# breasts, respectively. The "hold" column says whether the nymph is
# holding the star (by a ray, or by the tail if present).

# There is a mark "10^{mg}" at the lower right corner of the page.
# It is certainly a gathering mark (quire number), "10th" in
# abbreviated Latin.
#
# Comments:
#
# STYLE AND LAYOUT
#
# The ram/goat is drawn very skillfully and looks quite realistic,
# except that the way its front legs bend looks wrong. (But I am
# a city boy, what do I know...)
#
# The barrels are drawn rather poorly: better than those of f71r
# (Aries light) but worse than those of f70v2 (Pisces). The width
# and height are quite variable. The perspective is minimally
# correct, but the top of the barrel is tilted at varying angles
# relative to the observer, from near edge-on (outer 08:00) to
# almost face-on (inner 02:30). In three cases (outer 02:45 and
# 03:45, inner 08:00) the top is rendered as an eye, not an ellipse.
#
# The pattern on the inner barrel at 00:00 is rather peculiar.
# Unlike the other patterns it is neither symmetric nor repeating;
# it looks rather like a cubist painting. It looks as if the barrel
# is made of glass, so that the nymph's legs and hands are showing
# through. (Perhaps the pattern was drawn to hide a mistake, or
# an artistic failure?)
#
# THE CENTRAL EMBLEM
#
# The central figure is widely believed to be a symbol of the sign
# Aries. The word below the animal could be "ab**il" in the Latin
# alphabet. It is traditionally read as some variant of the month
# name "April". Aries goes from ??? to ???.
#
# THE TEXT RINGS
#
# There is no obvious starting place for the text rings. The wider
# breaks at 04:00 (outer) and 06:00 (inner) are not aligned, and do
# not seem to be natural choices for starting the text. The binding
# gutter at 03:00 is not it either, as the text was visibly squeezed
# to fit in that part of the ring.
#
# The most likely starting places, IMHO, are the places at 10:45
# where the stars intrude into the text bands. Note that the inner
# star has the special striped "tail", and the outer star is being
# held high up by the nymph. (However, the first star enters just
# before a "daiin", and the second one under a word; so there is
# reason to doubt.)
#
# THE NYMPHS
#
# Either the dresses are meant to be transparent, or they were added
# later, in an attempt to mask the naked bodies.
#
# THE LABELS
#
# The outer label at 08:30 (<f70v1.S1.9;U>) reads "otshshdy" in standard EVA.
# The two "sh" have quite different plumes---the first one is a closed
# drop-like loop, the second is a open hook.

# Comments
#
# Presumably, the "notched square" devices at 10:30 may be the "start

# Description:
#
# (Beware that the scanned image is upside down.)
#
# Four concentric rings of text (units "C1" through "C4", from
# outside in), bounded by eight faint mechanically drawn circles,
# roughly centered on the page. Circles 5 and 6 (from the outside)
# are spaced apart almost twice as much as the other pairs. The
# outermost text ring runs over the crease on the left side of the
# panel, and into the diagram of f72r2; for that reason the text is
# interrupted between 08:00 and 10:00. The middle ring of text has a
# decorated "notched square" at 09:00, and the innermost text ring
# has a wider word break at 08:55.
#
# In the centre there is a pair of lobster-like creatures seen from
# above. The one at the top is light-colored and facing East, the
# bottom one is dark and facing West. Below them is a non-Voynichese
# word, in a heavier hand than the other text in the page.
#
# The rings of text delimit three circular bands, containing (from
# outside in) respectively 12, 11, and 7 human figures or "nymphs",
# i.e. 30 in total. There is a label just clockwise of each figure
# (text units "Z", "Y", "X", from outside in).
#
# Some figures are hardly visible due to the poor copy quality. All
# figures seem to be naked, except for occasional headgear (hat,
# bonnet, diadem, and one crown). They are standing (radially, with
# the head outwards), in 3/4 view (between frontal and facing
# clockwise). Some have visible breasts, some don't. Most are
# holding a star with the right hand; the left hand is generally on
# the hip. Some stars have "tails".
#
# The following table summarizes the nymph and star attributes. Here
# "cw" means clockwise, "ccw" counterclockwise. The "brst" column
# says whether the figure has visible female breasts.

#
# The two lobsters are probably a symbol for Cancer.
# Cancer is July 7 to August 11 (?).
#
# Note the switch from two bands of nymphs + overflow (as in f72r2)
# to three bands of figures.
#
# The decorated square suggests the text rings are to be read
# starting at 09:00 or so.

#
# Three concentric rings of text, deimited by six faint mechanically
# drawn circles. The outer and inner rings have wider word gaps
# at 08:45. (The middle ring crosses a fold at that point).
#
# In the centre is an animal resembling a lioness, facing west. The
# animal has a very short and sparse mane, and a long tail ending in
# a tuft of hair. The tail curved down, between or behind the rear
# legs, then up behind body, and then forward. The right front paw
# is lifted and points West. The animal has a muzzle similar to that
# of the nibbling animal in f???, and is showing a longish, narrow,
# pointed tongue.
#
# Below the lion is a non-Voynichese word, possibly "augst" in
# lowercase Latin letters. There may be a dot over the first leg of
# the "u". The "s" looks like an uncrossed "f" with a straight
# descender. The "t" looks like an EVA "c".
#
# The three rings of text define two bands containing human figures
# (12 in the inner band, 18 in the outer one), all naked, in 3/4
# view (between frontal and facing clockwise). Each figure holds a
# star with the left hand. The right hand is generally on the hip.
#
# All the figures are naked. Most have visible breasts and
# shoulder-long hair.
#
# Clockwise from each figure there is a short label.

#
# Six faint, mostly concentric, mechanically drawn circles delimit
# three rings of text. The outer ring crosses the fold into page
# f72v3, and runs under that page's diagram, so the text is
# interrupted between 08:30 and 09:30. There are notable gaps on the
# other two rings at about 09:30.
#
# The two outermost circles are not exactly concentric, and the
# third one doesn't quite close on itself (at 06:30).
#
# Inside the inner circle there is a woman (with breasts) standing,
# wearing a long pleated dress with flaring sleeves, and a hat or
# hat-like hairdo. With her right hand she is holding a star, by its tail;
# the left hand is empty and half-stretched forward. At her feet there
# is a tuft of grass and a daisy-like flower. Above the flower
# is a word in a dark, different script (possibly "septe~br" with the
# tilde over the "e").
#
# Between the bands of text, there are two bands of naked figures
# ("nymphs"), 12 in the inner one, 18 in the outer one. Most of them
# are clearly female, but some have undefined sex (no breasts but also
# no genitals). The inner ring figure at 04:00 is smaller and is
# standing on a tub or platform of some sort.
#
# Each nymph is holding or pointing to a star, some by its tail ---
# except for the inner nymph at 00:30, who is just looking at the
# star, and the inner nymph at 01:30, who has no star. There is
# a label under each star.
#
# Comments:
#
# The gaps at 09:30 suggest the text should be read starting from there.
#
# The way f72v3 overlaps f72v2 indicates that they were drawn in
# that order.
#
# Rene [27 Mar 1996] observes similarities between the zodiac
# symbols in the VMs and those in a 1440 german manuscript [1]. Says
# in particular that Virgo in that manuscript holds a flower and not
# a star.
#
# Adams Douglas [28 Mar 1996] thinks the star held by the
# symbol-woman is Spica, the brightest star in Virgo, usually on the
# her head or a sceptre.

#
# Six faint, mostly concentric, mechanically drawn circles delimit
# three rings of text. The outer ring runs right up to the binding
# gutter on the right. There may be a wider word gap at 09:00 (but
# the image is very poor there). A radial stroke cuts across the
# middle ring at 08:30 (may be a modern scribble).
#
# The two circles that delimit the inner ring of text are quite
# irregular.
#
# Inside the inner ring there is a two-plate balance scale,
# slightly offset to the right. The beam is a narrow rectangular
# ruler, with a darker stripe running down its middle. The pivot is
# not visible, but seems to be fixed at the bottom of an upright
# rectangular frame, with a handle or ring on top (partly hidden
# under the innermost text ring). A narrow triangular pointer rises
# from the beam's midpoint up to the top of the supporting frame. An
# object resembling a sliding counterweight seems to be resting over
# the beam, a little to the left of the pivot. Each end of the beam
# has a thin horizontal extension, from whose tip there hangs a
# hemispherical cup with thick walls, supported by three or four
# straight threads or wires.
#
# Below the scale there is a single word in non-Voynich script,
# apparently "oct~ebre" in lowercase Latin cursive (with a
# tilde or macron over the "te").
#
# Between the bands of text, there are two bands of naked figures
# ("nymphs"), 10 in the inner one, 20 in the outer one. Most of them
# are clearly female (visible breasts, long hair). All nymphs are naked,
# mostly in 3/4 view (between frontal and facing clockwise).
#
# A hole in the vellum, less than 5mm across, covers a small segment
# of the middle ring. at 03:00. The preceding word runs up to the
# hole, but is apparently whole. A nymph in the inner band, at
# 03:15, also has the hair squeezed against the hole.
#
# The outer nymph at 12:15 wears a crown, consisting of a ring of
# flaring triangular points, each with a dot; and a dome with double
# outline, topped by a spike or cross (too small to tell).
#
# Each nymph is holding or pointing to a star.
#
# There is a Voynichese label just clockwise of each nymph.
#
# Comments:
#
# The scale is the standard symbol for the sign of Libra.
# Libra is from ??? to ???.
#
# The stroke at 08:30, if original, suggests that the text should be
# read starting from there.
#
# The way f72v3 overlaps f72v2 indicates that they were drawn in
# that order.
#
# The drawing of the balance is very accurate in all details, in
# spite of the relatively crude perspective and technique. It looks
# as if the author was very familiar with the instrument. I suspect
# that the model may be more appropriate for a druggist than for a
# grocer.
#
# The details of the drawings around the hole suggest that the
# hole was already there when the drawing was made.

# Description:
#
# The page contains two blocks of text, surrounded and separated by
# three figures.
#
# The upper block of text contains a single paragraph (text unit
# "P1") with 8.8 lines, justified top and left; its right side is
# defined by an illustration. Another part of the same illustration
# also interrupts the first 5 lines down the middle. The lower block
# contains two paragraphs with 8.0 and 13.5 lines, separated by a
# right-justified half-line of text (a "title"). The block is
# justified on the left, its right boundary is irregular and partly
# defined by the figure.
#
# The top figure consists of two nymphs, near the NW and NE of the
# page; a "vessel" in the middle; and tubes connecting these three
# elements across the top margin of the page. The NW nymph has a
# diadem and is standing inside "cup", which is decorated with rings
# of dots, knobs, and hoops, and tapers down to nothing. The nymph
# has her hand inside an arched tube that ends in the "central
# vessel", shose shape is similar to the nymph's "cup". The NE nymph
# is standing inside a large, smooth tube, that bends to the rigth
# and exits the page. It too has her hand inside an arched tube that
# ends in the "central vessel".

# Description:
#
# The page contains only a circular diagram. The outer frame consists
# of a ring of text between two faint mechanically-drawn circles. The
# starting point of the text is not evident. ( The whole arc between
# 08:00 and 10:00 is unreadable in the source image. There is also an
# extra-wide gap at 07:30, but it may be just a faded word.)
#
# At the center of the diagram is a sun with neutral expression
# and narrow reverse-S-shaped rays. Surrounding it is a colored disk
# textured with a whirlpool pattern, bent clockwise-out.
#
# The disk is framed by a circular band with six semicircular lobes
# (one each at North and South, two each at West and East), containing
# a ring of text and delimited by two narrow, decorated, cordon-like
# borders. A double radial stroke, cutting across the frame at 09:00,
# seems to mark the starting point of the text. The inner border of
# the frame consists of two mechanically drawn circles, about a
# millimeter apart, and is decorated by 10 pairs of double parentheses
# (( )). The outer border is a hand drawn solid double line with a
# line of dots down the middle.
#
# The space between the inner and outer frames is divided into unequal
# sectors by four beams, placed like the arms of an "X". The beams are
# narrower near the center than at the periphery. Each beam continues
# past and under the outer frame, ending in a broad plume, resembling
# a soft wet brush. The plume makes a sharp U-turn and passes again
# behind the outer frame, while tapering down to a point. The NE plume
# bends clockwise, the other three bend counterclockwise.
#
# Each sector between the outer and inner frames contains a paragraph
# of text near the outer end (to be read clockwise), and a human
# figure. The sex of the figures is indeterminate, as neither breasts
# nor beards are visible. The South figure is leaning on a staff, and
# looks like an old man or woman; the other three could be women or
# young men, possibly children.
#
# The figures are partially hidden behind by the inner frame: the
# South figure is hidden from the knees down by the inner frame, and
# the other three are hidden from the waist down. All four figures
# wear a colored, buttonless shirt, with long and narrow sleeves,
# which in the South figure is seen to be a tunic or dress, ending
# just above the knee. Ring collars are visible in the North and West
# figures. All three figures have light hair, bushy over the ears and
# cropped just below them. The East figure wears a dark
# skullcap.
#
# The right hands of West, North, and East are hidden by the inner
# frame. With the left hand, North seems to be pointing to the last
# word of the text above (which sits on a line by itself); East holds
# an unidentified dark object, consisting of two stacked bulbs of unequal
# size, topped by a short spike (it could be a root); and West seems
# to be holding a flower, shaped like a lily but dark colored. South
# holds a staff with the left hand, and a chain with three huge rings
# on his right.
#
# Comments:
#
# It has been conjectured that the four figures represent the Four
# Ages of Man. If the diagram is to be read clockwise, like the text,
# then West (who lies over the "start marker", by the way) would be
# Infancy. However, East (with the skullcap) looks younger than the
# other three.

# Description:
#
# The page contains a circular diagram, and under it a single paragraph
# of text (5 lines, the last one short and centered).
#
# The diagram is framed by two faint mechanically dawn circles, and
# four rings of text --- one betweent the two circles, the other three
# just inside the second circle. A wide gap in all four rings at 09:00
# suggests an obviosu starting point, confirmed by four radial strokes
# across the first ring (that may be modern scribbles in the copy,
# however).
#
# (There are other simultaneous gaps in all four rings at 01:00 and
# 05:00, so the four rings may actually be two or three paragraphs
# side by side.)
#
# At the center of the diagram there is an uncolored disk, bounded by
# a mechanically drawn circle, containing a small moon---with a dark
# crescent shadow on the left side, and a human face with neutral
# expression on the right.
#
# Just outside this central disk there is a wide decorated band
# containing four small human figures. The decoration looks like a
# perspective drawing of a flat field, bent around the inner disk with
# the innermost edge being closer to the observer. In the "field"
# there are five parallel rows (concentric rings) of elements, shaped
# like tombstones with rounded top. The "tombstones" are painted in
# various colors, and some have dots, borders, or other simple
# decoration. In the innermost ring, which is unobstructed, the
# elements are fused together at the base.
#
# Between these rows of "tombstones", the field is packed with round
# objects (which could be bushes, leaves, pebbles, bubbles, etc.).
#
# The "tombstones" in the first four rows are packed tight, and a
# larger "tombstone" is inserted every 3-6 standard ones. The last row
# (outermost ring) has only small tombstones, painted with alternating
# colors, some distance apart (with some blades of "grass" in
# between).
#
# The third row of tombstones is interrupted at 11:30, 02:30, 05:30,
# and 08:30 by four human figures. The human figures are hidden by the
# "bushes" from the waist down. The North figure is barely visible,
# because of a a crease in the vellum. The West and South figures are
# female (with visible breasts), and the same may be true of the other
# two. They wear a white dress with ring collar and broad sleeves,
# apparently tied at the wrists. Their hair is dark but not black, and
# is just long enough to cover the ears. The South, West, and North
# figures have both arms spread out like a "W", with hands open; East
# has only the left arm up, in the same position.

#
# Description:
#
# This face of the fold-out contains an elaborate diagram consisting
# of nine main circular diagrams or "rosettes" connected by things
# that resemble roads, rivers, tubes, etc. Using compass directions
# as labels for the rosettes, the general layout is roughly like this:
#
# *
# = NW----N----NE
# = | \ | / |
# | | |
# W--- Ctr----E
# | * | |
# | / | \ |
# SW----S----SE
# o
#
# (The right 1/3 of this design is incomplete and based on verbal
# descriptions by others; I have not seen panels f86r5 and
# f86r6 yet.)
#
# The top and bottom rosettes lie one in each of the six panels,
# roughly centered. The rosettes in the middle row sit on top of the
# horizontal fold. The center rosette is the largest one
# while the mid-side ones (N, E, S, W) are the smallest.
#
# There is a ring of text around each rosette, and dozens of labels
# all over the place. Unfortunately the copy on which this
# description is based is almost illegible and is lacking the entire
# East column of the diagram (panels f86r6 and f86r5).
#
# Several object in this diagram seem to be covered by tongue-like
# "scales" or sprouts (see glossary). In several places these scales
# pile up into a small conical mound or "fountain", which seems to emit
# a small "jet" (which looks like a tuff of stiff hair).
#
# The NW rosette (panel f85v2):
#
# This rosette is surrounded by by two thin mechanically drawn
# circles that bound a ring of text, with a wide gap at 09:30.
# Inside this ring is a band of scales turned inwards, giving the
# impression of a hollow spherical shell with closely-packed
# finger-like buds sprouting from the inside surface. The band of
# scales is fringed with a band of hairs, also pointing inwards,
# and a circle of small dots.
#
# At the center of this "shell" is a round (slightly oblong)
# object, also decorated with scales, hairs, and tiny dots
# but pointing outwards. The object seems to have a opening shaped
# like an eye on its side, as if a slice had been cut from a
# melon. The interior of the object seems to be hollow. The edges
# of the hole are fringed with many small "teeth" or "flames",
# sharp and curved, directed inwards. On the right edge of the
# cut, on the boundary between the scales and the flames, there is
# a single word.
#
# North, East, and South of the NW rosette there is a complex of
# scalloped and hatched areas that suggests a very rough surface.
# Cutting through this hatching, and apparently higher than it, are
# some flat areas that resemble broad wawering roads. One "road"
# connects the rosette to a wide flat "plateau" North of it, that
# extends beyond the panel's edge. Another road goes East to the
# N rosette (panel f86r4) and a third road goes South to the
# W rosete (split between panels f85v1 and f85v2).
#
# The East-going (NW to N) road narrows quickly, and is
# interrupted halfway by a round court. (Actually the court is
# foreshortened to an oval; this part of the diagram is drawn as
# seen from due West, high above the road.) Two narrow
# paths---slightly convex, with parapets---connect this plaza to
# the N rosette. The trapezoidal space between the two paths could
# be a hole or a flowerbed. The road and plaza are edged by an
# artificial-looking wall, interrupted by a few square columns or
# towers of the same height. In the middle of the road there is a
# round multistory tower, with a sharp conical roof.
#
# The South-going (NW to W) road sports five labels: one at each
# end, one in the middle, and one on each side, outside the road.
# It is apparently drawn as seen obliquely from the South.
#
# Five straight tubes exit from the NW rosette's outline, directed
# Southeast towards the center rosette. They seem supported at
# their base by a rampart with multiple scalloped outline. The
# tubes are arranged symmetrically, with one in center and four,
# slightly narrower, around it. They stop in mid-air with flat
# open ends, as if all were cut with a single stroke. There is a
# label further ahead of the tubes and aligned with their axis.
#
# Further nortwest of this rosette, right next to the panel's
# corner, there is a small sun with long sinuous rays. West of the
# rosette, squeezed against the left edge of the panel, is a
# narrow text with two paragraphs of 4.0 (or 5.0?) and 4.0 lines.
#
# The NE rosette (panel f86r6)
#
# This panel is missing in my copy. However one can see part of
# the road connecting the NE rosette to the N rosette. What can be
# seen is almost a mirror image of the road from NE to N: a
# broadening road, edged by artifical walls with square posts or
# towers. However there is no flower bed dividing the road in two,
# as there is on the other side. The plaza and fountain, if any,
# lie in panel <f86r6>.
#
# The SW rosette (panel f85v1)
#
# The SW rosette is bounded by a ring of text (unit "C1") bordered two
# faint mechanically drawn circles. There are gaps in the text at
# 01:30 and 07:30.
#
# Inside the text ring is a "plateau" with scalloped boundary,
# with 8 extensions or "passages" leaving in different directions.
# Each passage has a peculiar outline, sort of a pair of trumpets
# joined at their narrow ends by a "bulb-like" swelling. The passages
# are flat like the plateau but are surrounded by a several wavy
# lines, sugegsting cliffs. One "passage" goes North, one West, two
# South, three East, and one (narrower, with two swellings, each
# with a dot inside) goes SouthEast. The passages going North and
# East are more or less aligned with the roads between the SW,
# W, and S rosettes, that start just outside the text ring.
# However the match is not perfect, as if the text ring marked an
# ellipsis or a change of scale.
#
# Inside the scalloped area there is an elliptical "flower bed"
# surrounded by a band of scales. At the four cardinal points, the
# scales pile up into four fountains, whose jets point at nothing in
# particular. The flower bed is filled with 24 tiny flowers or
# stars. In the center there is a flower-like object with 6 round
# "petals" and a doubly-traced outline.
#
# There are several labels (unit "B1") on or near this rosette.
# One label in the scalloped-outline area, at 07:30, seems
# associated with the area itself, or the flower bed inside it.
# Another 9 labels seem associated with the 8 "passages" leaving the
# scalloped area, and perhaps with the fountains at the corners of
# the flower bed. Two more labels lie on the "sea", between the
# text ring and the scalloped area, at 08:00 and 11:00. Four more
# labels, reading radially outwards, lie just outside the text
# ring, between 04:30 and 06:00; they may be associated with the
# passages going Southeast (although they are not aligned with
# them).
#
# Outside the text ring, Northwest from the rosette, there is a
# roundish textured area surrounded by several wavy lines,
# resembling a small "island" with steep coastline. A broad,
# slighlty divergent band with wavy outlines, resembling a
# torrential stream of water, goes from the island to the edge of
# plateau (passing under the text ring). Two curves lines of text
# are written along the stream's axis, and a third is written
# along its Southern edge. On the Northeast side of the island
# there is a tuff of curved hairs, so that the island looks like
# an onion with its roots.
#
# On the opposite side of the rosette (07:30), also outside the
# text ring there is a small circle (with double outline decorated
# with 8 sets of three cross-hatches). The circle is surrounded by
# a short ring of text (half clockwise and half counterclockwise).
# Inside the circle there are three dots connected into an "L"
# with equal arms. Two labels, reading radially towards the the
# rosette, lie on each side of the small circle. A "dock"
# resembling a double-traced squarish "U" extends out of the SW
# rosette towards the small circle.
#
# Connecting the SW and W rosettes there is a "road", looking like
# a causeway bordered by artificial-looking walls. The road is
# actually a diamond-shaped loop, with slightly concave sides. The
# North and South corners of this diamond connect to the two
# rosettes; the West and East corners of the diamont open into
# small round courts. Around this diamond are some wavy lines that
# suggest steep rocky cliffs. The four corners of the diamond are
# labeled, and there are two more labels in the "sea" on both
# sides (all in unit "B1" too).
#
# The SW and S rosettes are connected by a broad bowtie-shaped
# "isthmus", apparently with steep rocky shores. A thick
# "fortified wall", fringed with "M"-shaped merlets on both sides,
# runs along the Southern "shore" of the isthmus. North of this
# wall are two triangular "fields", taking up most of the
# isthmus, covered by parallel lines and many vertical sticks or
# poles. There is a label just north of the wall, and another
# just off the Northern "shore".
#
# The SE rosette (panel f86r5)
#
# This panel is not available, but on panel f86r3 one can see half of the connection
# between rosette SE and rosette S. This connection too is a bow-shaped isthmus.
# The multiple wavy outlines suggest steep shores on both sides. There is a
# narrower bowtie-shaped "road" on the isthmus, next to the South shore cliff.
# This road has no parapets or merlets, but its edges are scalloped. Between
# the road and the North shore cliffs there is a band of scales, pointing seawards.
# There are two labels (unit "B3") just off the shore, one on each side of the
# isthmus.
#
# The N rosette (panel f86r4)
#
# This rosette is surrounded by ring of text (unit "V2"). The ring
# is fairly round but the presumed guiding circles are not
# visible.
#
# Just inside this ring there is a band of scales, as in the NE
# rosette. However there are no hairs or dots. Instead the scales
# seem to pile up into 13 conical "fountains" (11 visible and 2
# inferred), pointing inwards.
#
# The fountains seem to be blowing or spraying a "windmill" that
# takes up most of the space inside the rosette. Each fountain
# points into the notch between consecutive "blades" of the
# windmill. In each sector, between consecutive fountains, there are
# 10 labels, aligned with the tips of the windmill blades, reading
# radially inwards. (Two of the sectors are hidden by the
# "waterfall", see below.)
#
# The central "windmill" resembles the central structure of the
# diagram in <f68v1>. It consists of a fat star (or toothed disk)
# divided into 13 "blades" or sectors shaped like narrow kites.
# Each sector is split lengthwise into a solid dark-colored half
# (the most clockwise one) and a "starry" half. The latter
# contains many tiny stars against a colored background. The
# approximate star counts, clockwise from North, are
#
# sector 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13
# -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
# stars 11 10 10 10 09 10 11 10 11 10 11 10 10
#
# The actual counts may be one or two higher. Thus there are
# 133 stars, perhaps a little more. This is almost exactly twice
# the total number of stars in the windmill of <f68v1> (66-67).
#
# A "flow" of some sort seems to be taking place between the
# windmill's South edge and the central rosette. The flow has
# triangular or conical shape, and is marked with stream lines and
# many small circles suggesting droplets. It is not entirely clear
# which way the flow is moving; but its South end has smaller
# "droplets", and exits or enters a hole at the top of a conical
# pile of scales, similar to the fountains inside the N rosette
# but larger.
#
# A narrow stick or tube, with a round swelling near its tip,
# extends Southwards from the center of the windmill, for about
# half its radius. (It is probably perpendicular to the windmill's
# plane, but drawn as if looking from a North-South direction.)
#
# The S rosette (panel f86r3)
#
# This rosette, like the others, is framed by a ring of text
# (unit "C2") between two faint mechanically drawn circles. There is a wide
# gap in the text between 06:00 and 06:45.
#
# The space inside the ring is largely occupied by
# a "windmill" object somewhat similar to the one inside
# the N rosette. This windmill too has the outline of a fat
# star divided into 13 narrow kite-shaped sectors. However,
# instead of being bisected into dark and light halves,
# here the sectors alternate between dark solid color
# and starry sky pattern. The necessary exception
# is the sector at 08:00, which is bisected by a
# wavy line that slaloms between two rows of dots;
# the clockwise half is starry, the other is solid dark.
# The star counts per sector, starting with this one, are
#
# sector 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13
# -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
# stars 12 -- 19 -- 25 -- 24 -- 26 -- 22 -- 24
#
# i.e. 152 stars.
#
# There is no tube at the center of the windmill, only a
# faint circular marking, possibly containing two Voynichese
# letters.
#
# At the tip of almost every sector there is a small round bulb,
# and attached to almost every bulb is a fan-like structure
# of varying width. When present, the fan starts from a small
# pointed spike at the at distal end of the bulb, and stops at the
# surrounding text ring. For the broadest fans, the spike seems to
# have opened to a crown of points. More precisely, starting from
# the split sector at 08:00 we have
#
# sector 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 ** 12 ** 13
# -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
# bulb at tip Y Y Y Y ? ? ? Y Y Y Y Y ? Y Y
# spike(S)/rown(W) S S S S ? ? ? S S S W ? ? ? W
# fan width(N,0..2) 2 ? ? N N N N 0 N 0 1 2 2 2 2
#
# The two "**" entries above refer to a pair of "extra" fans that
# start from narrow stalks growing from the notch between two star tips.
#
# Some of the bays between consecutive star tips contain labels
# (unit "B2"), reading radially inward.
#
# Symmetrically to the N rosette, there is a big fan-shaped flow
# between an aperture in the central rosette and the whole North
# edge of the windmill. The flow is marked with stream lines
# (diverging from the North vertex) and small chevrons pointing
# South, towards the windmill. The flow seems to emanate from a
# bottle-shaped nozzle on the wall of the central rosette.
#
# The W rosette (on the fold between panels f85v1 and f85v2)
#
# This rosette is similar to the North and South ones, in that it
# has a ring of text (unit "N1") surrounding a "windmill", which
# is sprayed by a "flow" emanating from the central rosette.
# However the fold and the poor copy quality prevent us from
# checking many of the details that are visible in the other two.
#
# The text ring is interrupted at 09:45 by a decorated rectangle
# (a laterally compressed version of the "notched square" marker).
#
# The West windmill is smaller than its North and South
# companions. It is divided into 18 kite-shaped sectors,
# alternating beyween solid medium-light color and starry sky
# pattern. Clockwise from 09:00, the star counts are
#
# sector 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
# -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
# stars ?? -- >6 -- 07 -- 05 -- ?? -- 10 -- 09 -- 09 -- 10 --
#
# So there are more than 56, probably around 80 stars on this windmill.
#
# About two dozen thin beams or "stalks" emanate from the windmill
# (both from the tips of the sectors and from the throughs between
# sectors). the stalks end in round bulbs. These in turn are
# connected to a scalloped circle that resembles a ring of round
# arches.
#
# The "flow" is somewhat smaller than the North and South ones,
# and consists of several tinsel-like strands with the barbs
# pointing towards the windmill; it is similar to the South flow,
# but the barbs are pointing in the opposite sense. The
# strands converge on (or diverge from a point on the wall
# of the center rosette---which is unfortunately obscured by the fold.
#
# Between the text ring and the arches there are 8 labels (one of them,
# obscured by the fold), reading radially inwards (unit "M1").
#
# The central rosette (on the fold between panels f86r3 and f86r4).
#
# The usual text ring (unit "N2") is surrounded in this case by a
# complex band, entirely covered with outward-pointing scales and
# other structures. Exposed scales are seen to have a dark spot
# near the middle. The band of scales is edged on the outside with
# many triangular "teeth" (spines, flames, grass blades) and then
# by a ring of tiny dots. The inner edge of the band has a row of
# fan-shaped elements (resembling gingko leaves),also pointing
# outwards. From among the scales thre arises at regular inervals
# a group of five or six tubes (a wide one at the center, with
# smaller and shorter tubes surrounding it). All tubes have
# an open, clean-cut end.
#
# Inside the text ring there are two additional concentric bands
# of outward-pointing scales. The outermost of these two bands
# is fringed by hairs, also pointing outwards.
#
# In the annular space between the text ring and the the second
# band of scales there are 19 labels, reading radially inwards ---
# all between 17:30 and 02:30.
#
# Around the North half of that annular space there is also a thin
# semicircular line that is interrupted several times by
# triple-scalloped indentations.
#
# The inner band of scales is a bit flattened, like a disk seen in
# perspective. Inside the band there are half a dozen "mushrooms"
# in a circle. Each mushroom consists of a "stalk" and a "head",
# topped by a "roof". The stalk is a chubby cylinder with its
# bottom half encased in a short "sock" that flares out near the
# ground, then narrows again. The "head" is spherical and
# featureless. The "roof" is shaped like an upside-down trumpet,
# with thick lip, and ends with a sharp point at the top.
#
# Further inside the mushroom ring there is a ring of unidentified
# shapes (perhaps resembling human silhouettes), and a dotted area
# which may represent plants.
#
# Between the mushrooms there are a few words of text (also in
# unit "M2").
#
# Comments:
#
# LOW-LEVEL INTERPRETATION
#
# I.e. what objects was the artist trying to draw?
#
# The hatched areas outside the rosettes could be sea waves, rocky terrain,
# flesh, clouds, cave walls, and many other things. However the details
# of the NE to N road sugegst they are cliffs rising from the sea.
#
# The object inside NE rosette could be a cutaway view of a hollow
# shell, with a layer of "scales" on the outside, and
# inward-pointing flames or spines on the inside. The label seems to
# be applied the shell itself.
#
# The opening could also be a mouth with teeth; but the shape,
# curvature, and slant or the "teeth" are not correct. It could also
# be eye with eyelashes; but the same objection applies, and there
# is no hint of iris and pupil.
#
# The tower-like structure on the N to NE road could be a fountain.
# There are faint markings South of it that could be a puddle of water,
# or a standing person (with one arm on the "fountain"), or...
#
# The two roads connecting the N rosette to the plaza West of it
# could be either bridges or, two lanes separated by a flower bed.
#
# The knobs at the corners of the SW-W road could be towers seen
# from dead above (the apparent perspective for this part of the
# drawing), dropping straight down to the sea level. But they could
# also be landing pads at sea level...
#
# The grooved areas North of the wall on the SW-S isthmus could
# represent plowed and planted fields, or vineyards.
#
# HIGH-LEVEL INTERPRETATION
#
# I.e. what is the purpose of this picture?
#
# The sun in the NE corner suggests a cosmological interpretation.
# On the other hand, the tubes suggest anatomy, or (less likely)
# plumbing, while the roads and tower suggest a map.
#
# The whole diagram may be a graphic equivalent of the description
# of the cosmos given in 1 Enoch and other ancient texts, where
# natural phenomena like planetary motions, rivers, winds, rains,
# springs, etc. are said to be produced in some "cosmic factory".
#
# Alternatively, it could be a "biological factory" explanation of
# human physiology.
#
# Perhaps this diagram is an attempt to draw the mysterious device
# described in the Cabal, or the apocalyptic vision of Ezra, or
# Heron's hydraulic gadgets, or...
#
# Just to cover all the bases: it could be a report from a time
# traveler or UFO abductee: the NW rosette is a fusion reactor, the
# pipes leaving it carry steam for heating, the N/S/W/E rosettes are
# steam turbines, the bulb-headed towers in the center are
# rockets... 8-)
#
# Another possibility is that it is a "fantasy island", like many
# kids like do draw (and grown-ups too---consider Tolkien's maps of
# Middle Earth)

# Description:
#
# Gathering mark 14.
#
# Text and drawing take up most of the page, right up to the
# edges, except for some white space left in the middle.
#
# Four tapering, densely decorated "biological" structures
# grow from the four corners of the page towards the center.
#
# Between these structures there are four paragraphs of normal-looking text.
# right next to the respective edge, to be read clockwise.
# In the rectangular area bounded by them, there are two more
# paragraphs, interrupted by part of the Northwest structure.
#
# At the very center of the page, below the two extra paragraphs, there is
# a mechanically drawn "T-O map"---a circle cut into three sectors
# by a diameter (from 09:30 to 03:30) and a perpendicular radius (at 00:30).
#
# At the left of the T-O map, and partly over it, there is a faint
# irregular (pencil?) scribble, mostly illegible, resembling a young
# child's scrawl. With some imagination, the first row can be read as
# two EVA <l> (larger than normal), a latin "n" with acute accent, and
# a latin "F"; below them is an EVA <s>, with very dark <c> and
# lighter plume. But none of these readings can be considered
# significant.
#
# In the structure descriptions that follow, "up" means towards
# the center of the page, "down" means towards its corner,
# "left" is clockwise and "right" is counter-clockwise.
#
# The Northeast structure looks like a chalyx with thick stem, covered
# with rounded, upward-pointing scales (or close-packed leaves). From
# its hollow there comes forth a converging bundle of lines, like a
# strong water jet (or a bundle of stalks). Halfway though the "jet"
# but in front of it there is a bird with outspread wings. The "jet"
# ends bruptly after a short distance, to be replaced by a dotted band
# (dust? droplets? seeds?).
#
# The Southeast structure has the shape of a light bulb, with the
# narrow end pointing up . The base (wider end) is wrapped in a
# leaf-like chalyx. The bulb is decorated with several bands of knobs,
# hatchings, and upwards-growing scales. The narrow end (nearest to
# the center of the page) ends in a hole with dotted lip. Coming out
# from the hole we see the head of another bird, with its ouspread
# wings partly visible, and three curved "stalks" carrying three
# corncob-like objects.
#
# The Southwest structure has a base that looks like a flattened
# flower, whose petals are made of thick riveted metal plate. On top
# of that "flower" there are three similar "stages", each smaller than
# the previous one. Each "stage" looks like a ribbed stalk, short and
# broad, ending with a multilobed sleeve which holds a heap of round
# objects with dots at their centers. From the third stage there grows
# a short "jet" (or a fourth ribbed stalk) that opens out into a
# funnel or corolla with serrated borders. The right half of this
# funnel is dotted.
#
# The Northwest structure looks like a wide and short cylindrical base
# with a band of scales or flaps around its top part, pointing down.
# On top of this base is a short conical dome covered with scales or
# leaves. Each scale has a dot. From the very tip of the dome there
# sprouts a divergent bundle of lines that ends with a cloud of dots,
# like a water jet.
#
# Behind the Northwest structure there is a human figure with light
# long hair, probably a woman. Only her head and hand are visible,
# just to the right of the "water jet".
#
# Behind the Southwest structure there is another human figure with
# short dark hair, probably a man. Only his right arm, part of his
# breast, and half of his face are visible, on the left side of the
# structure.
#
# The man's right hand seems to be holding a short tube, pointed
# towards the woman. Issuing from it is a short jet of dots that ends
# abruptly after a couple of feet. (The man may also be throwing
# things at the woman, and the "tube" could then be the motion traces.)
# The woman seems to be waving at the man.

# Description:
#
# This page contains 4 rows of plants (roughly next to the top edge,
# 1/3 down, 2/3 down, and next to the bottom edge).
#
# The plant rows contain 4, 2, 6, and 4 plants, respectively. Plant
# [1,4] has a long tapering root that runs down the right margin and
# ends near the bottom right corner (which is torn off). Crammed
# into the left margin, next to each row of plants, is a
# "container"---an object resembling a decorated jar with pedestal.
#
# Each container and each plant (except plant [3,6]) has a "label"
# written next to it (units "L1","L2", "L3", and "L4"). From the
# position of the labels it seems pretty clear which label goes with
# which figure.
#
# The plant rows are separated by three paragraphs with 2.8, 3.6,
# and 6.0 lines (units "P1", "P2", and "P3"). The first three lines
# of aragraph 3 are indented as if to leave space for a capital letter,
# but that space is occupied by the root of plant [3,1]
#
# There is a faint vertical crease in the vellum, about 1cm to the
# right of the fold that separates panels f89r2 and f89r3, and
# extending across the whole height of the page. The third paragraph
# (but not the other two) is crease, but runs over the fold as if it
# was not there. The crease and the fold are more conspicuous on the
# verso side (page f89v2).
#
# In the second line of paragraph 2 there seems to be a slit-like
# defect in the vellum, flanked by two alternating rows of dots.
# This defect is visible on the verso side too.

# The vellum defect on paragraph 2 sems to be a slit in the vellum
# that was at one time closed by sewing. If this interpretation is
# correct, then the thread is gone, and the alternating dots are

# Description:
#
# This page contains 3 rows of plants (next to the top edge,
# across the middle, and next to the bottom edge), separated by
# two blocks of text.
#
# The plant rows contain 5, 3, and 4 plants, respectively. Crammed
# into the left margin, next to each row of plants, is a
# "container"---an object resembling a decorated jar with pedestal.
# Each container and each plant has a "label" written next to it
# (units "L1","L2", and "L3"). From the position of the labels it seems
# pretty clear which label goes with which figure.
#
# The first block of text (unit "P1") consists of a single paragraph
# with 3.6 lines. The second block (unit "P2") contains two
# paragraphs, both with 3.8 lines.
#
# There is a vertical crease in the vellum, about 1cm to the left of
# the fold that separates panels f89v3 and f89v2. The crease extends
# from the second line of the top paragraph down to the bottom edge
# of the page. Eacept for the first line of the first paragraph, the
# text carefully avoids that (clean and undamaged) crease, but runs
# over the (dirty and worn-out) fold as if it was not there.
# The crease has a similar effect on the recto side (page f89r2).
#
# Near plant [2,3] there seems to be a slit-like defect in the
# vellum, flanked by two alternating rows of dots. This defect is
# visible on the verso side too.

#
# From the layout of the text relative to the crease and fold, it
# looks as if the crease was a defect of the vellum, already present
# when the page was written; but the fold was neither present nor
# explicitly planned for.

#
# Root: a very broad tuber, like a fat pancake with a mostly light
# upper surface and dark edge. The "pancake" is slightly bent with
# left and right edges higher than the middle. A ring of 15 "fat
# mousetail" roots --- dark, short and S-shaped --- sprout from the
# edge; they seem to support the "pancake" like the legs of a
# table. The three ones in front are much thicker than the 12 in the
# back. (Note that if the thick roots were split in two, there will
# be 18 roots, close to the 19 of f39r.)
# Stem: many short straight stems sprout separately from the top surface
# of the "pancake". Each stem ends with a leaf and flower; the
# longer ones have additional leaves attached to them.
# Branches: occasional short branches, each having a
# single leaf and flower at the tip.
# Leaves: two spindle-shaped leaves fused at the base, forming a
# "V" with fat arms and pointed tips. No leaf stalks.
# Flowers: one per branch.
# Stalk: longish. Chalyx: spindle-shaped, with smooth rim. Petals
# and core: none.
#
# An almost identical copy of this drawing appears on f39r. This one
# is drawn with less skill and/or care. The root shape is more
# irregular, its top surface is medium dark, and the flowers have only
# a flat circle in place of the corolla and core.
# Also the flowers sprout from the tip of each stem or branch.

# Roots: dark with many spindle-like tubers, resembling yam or manioc.
# Stem: single, upright with round swelling just above ground.
# Leaves: stellated, with 10-13 fingers, distal ones somewhat longer.
# Petiol: attached to leaf palm between two shortest fingers.
# Leaf arrangement: basically paired.
# Flowers: one big flower or inflorescence at the top, shaped like an
# oversize cashew nut. The narrower end is lighter and attached to
# the plant, and covered by tight bracts resembling those of an
# eggplant. The wider end is crowned by a light patch surrounded by
# short, narrow, curved petals, and filled with concentric dotted
# circles---possibly a cluster of small mature flowers.

#
# An enlargement of this page is reproduced in O'Neill's paper,

#
# This page spans two normal-size panels (f101v2 and f101v1) in a
# four-panel fold-out folio. They were originally entered as two
# separate pages (f101v2 and f101v1). However the text and plants

#
# Description:
#
# The top 2/3 of the page contain three rows of plants, with 9, 9,
# and 10 plants, respectively. The fold between the two panels falls
# to the right of plants [1.4] and [2.4], and cuts through plant
# [1.5].
#
# In rows 1 and 2, each plant has a one-word label (units "R1" and
# "R2"), at its right or above, except perhaps for plant [1,7]. The
# plants in row 3 are unlabeled.
#
# There are also three containers crammed into the left margin of
# the page (panel v2 only), next to each row of plants. No labels
# are visible on them (but the image is too dark to tell for sure).
# All three containers have a simple cylindrical shape. They are
# dark painted, undecorated except for a few narrow rings, light
# colored, some of them with dots. The relative ring positions, from
# the bottom, are: 0.0, 0.7, 1.0 (top container); 0.0, 0.3, 0.8, 1.0
# (middle), and 0.0, 0.8, 1.0 (bottom).
#
# Below the plants are three paragraphs, with 2.7, 2.8, and 3.0 lines
# (unit "P"). The first two lines of the paragraph 1 are interrupted
# by the roots of plants [3,8] and [3,9].
#
# Below the last paragraph there is a centered partial line or "title"
# (unit "T"). It may be simply the last line of paragraph 3.
#
# Plant descriptions:
#
# ROW 1:
#
# 1 headroot, bugroot, bird or crab?root [John Grove]
#
# [1,1] Root: two thick horizontal roots; the left one seems truncated,
# the right one makes an S-curve, and tapers down to a blunt point.
# Stem: vertical and unbranched. Leaves: rounded, with five
# big dents and many smaller ones (like a coarse circular saw blade);
# with long stalks, paired except for a lone leaf at top. (May be flowers?).
#
# [1,2] Root: fat knobby carrot. Stem: vertical, unbranched. Leaves:
# trowel-shaped, drooping, no stalks, toothed edges. Flower:
# one, large, horizontal; the image is too dark to see any detail.
#
# [1,3] Root: rather peculiar---the base of the stem bifurcates
# like an inverted "U", and each arm ends with a "fat carrot",
# barely wider than it. The arms of the "U" are thicker than the
# stem and almost as thick as the "carrots"). Stem: vertical,
# with two paired horizontal branches. Leaves: quite strange, look like
# ice-cream cones with thick walls, inserted upside-down on the
# leaf stalks.
#
# [1,4] Root: begins like a small carrot but immediately splits
# into three tapering and diverging rootlets. Stem: vertical,
# with two paired horizontal branches. Leaves: on medium-length
# stalks, paired (except for lone leaf at top), triangular, with
# two round lobes and two "horns" on the long sides, near the
# base. (Each leaf resembles a toy "space shuttle" with two
# pairs of wings).
#
# [1,5] This plant is barely visible in the source image, but part
# of it can be seen in the reproduction of page f101v2. Root:
# dense round mass, perhaps a spiny tuber. Stem: unbranched,
# vertical. Leaves: two, oblong, paired, at end of stem.
#
# [1,6] Root: "fat crossed legs". Stem: vertical, unbranched.
# Leaves: paired, triangular, with somewhat drooping stalks.
#
# [1,7] Root: "lock of hair". Stem: vertical, unbranched.
# Leaves: paired, broad, lance-shaped, with slightly dented edges,
# pointing fully down.
#
# [1,8] Root: two horizontal, diverging,tapering branches. Stem:
# vertical, unbranched, slightly curved. Leaves: maize-like,
# without stems, curved down. The leaves are partly obscured
# by bleedtrough from the leaves of f101r1[1,2]
#
# [1,9] Root: four horizontal branches, two on either side;
# the bottom ones are shorter and curved inwards, like
# crab's claws. Stem: vertical, unbranched. Leaves:
# oval, ending with a point, with short stems; paired and
# perpendicular to the stem, except for a single leaf at the
# top.
#
# ROW 2:
#
# [2,1] Looks like a single leaf, without root or stem.
# The leaf is round, dark, with scalloped edges. In the center
# of the top side there is a light "C", with the opening pointing SE;
# the stalk is apparently attached to the underside, roughly at
# the center of the "C".
#
# [2,2] Root: with two horizontal branches, dark and thickened,
# with downturned tips and many down-pointing hairs (like a thick
# moustache that needs to be trimmed.) Stem: straight, pointing NE,
# with two paired branches that start horiontal but curve up
# (the whole resembles a three-armed candelabrum). Leaves:
# three flyswatter-like leaves (or dense leaf clusters) with
# toothed distal edge.
#
# [2,3] Root: a tilde-shaped main root, almost horizontal,
# pointing W, with 7 short, tapering, curved rootlets (like bird's claws).
# Stem: vertical, unbranched. Leaves: a big round leaf, with toothed edge,
# and a wide slice missing at the bottom part (where the stem is
# connected to the leaf center). Alternatively it could be
# a fan-like cluster of tightly packed, long and narrow leaves.
#
#
# [2,4] Root: it has two horizontal branches, smooth, tapered
# and slightly curved, each having a roundish "hump" where it
# gets near the stem. It also has a "fat mousetail" stretching
# down from the base of the stem and gradually curving towards
# West. Stem: vertical, somewhat curved, unbranched. Leaves (or
# flowers): light-colored, two paired, three alternate, a single
# one at the end of the stem; all with long slightly crooked
# stalks. Each leaf is a star with 8 to 10 sharp triangular
# rays, with a dot at the center.
#
# [2,5] Root: two short worm-like branches, bent horizontally to the left.
# Stem: practically none. Leaves: Large, round, with round-toothed
# edges, coneccted directly to the root by thin mostly upright
# stalks. The leaves were painted in alternating lightand dark tones.
# (The "leaves" could also be leaf clusters, and the "stalks" could be
# branches.)
#
# [2,6] Root: a small knobby carrot, dark, pointing to the right.
# Stem: several twisted branches rising from the root. Leaves:
# round, with large round teeth, with stems resembling the branches.
#
# [2,7] Root: very small, basically six short strokes pointing
# to the sides and down. Stem: practically null. Leaves:
# two, paddle-shaped, paired.
#
# [2,8] Root: long and thin, unbranched, worm-like, growing
# almost horizontally to the left, ending with a single whisker.
# Stem: short and upright. Leaves: only one, growing up from
# the top of the stem; broad, eye-shaped, with many peg-like
# teeth.
#
# [2,9] Root: a short knobby carrot, growing horizontally
# to the left. Stem: none. Leaves: broad, lance-shaped,
# undulating, with a medium-length stalk, attached directly to the root.
#
# ROW 3:
#
# [3,1] Root: a small bulbous tuber, bent W (like a small
# eggplant), ending with a short rootlet. Stem: vertical,
# unbranched. Leaves: eigth paired, one at the top; feather-like
# with many sharp leaflets, resembling the branches of a pine
# tree. (The image is too dark to tell for sure).
#
# [3,2] Root: a dense brush of short S-shaped rootlets, with a
# single long mousetail stretching out in the SW direction. Stem: verrtical,
# unbranched, slightly curved NW at the top. Leaves: triangular,
# with slightly serrated edges, narrow but stiff, horizontal, paired,
# with medium-short stalks. Flower(?): a large one at the top of the
# stem, resembling a sunflower, apparently without petals. (That part
# of the image is obscured by a blot or bleedthrough.)
#
# [3,3] Root: four straight spines, narrow and sharp, pointing
# SW. Stem: vertical, short, unbranched. Leaves: a single
# broad fan-shaped cluster, resembling the tail of a turkey.
# Each leaf is long with a rounded tip, slightly curved
# upwards. Flowers(?): two, with long stalks branching out
# diagonally from mid-stem and extending above the leaf cluster.
# The chalyx(?) looks like a flat round saucer; the
# corolla is cylindrical, with scalloped upper edge.
# (Details are hard to see in the image.)
#
# [3,4] Root: shaped like a fat comma, with a human face
# on the round part, and a couple of whiskers extending
# Westward from the tip. Stem: straight, with two
# nearly horizontal short branches, paired. Leaves:
# seven, irregularly placed, with medium-short stalks.
# Each leaf is wider than its length, with 4-5 rounded
# lobes on the distal edge (vaguely like the outline of
# a Chinese pot-sticker).
#
# [3,5] (This plant is largely obscured by the fold between
# panels v2 and v1.) Root: only one tip is visible, West of the
# fold---mostly horizontal, curved up, cylindrical, ending abruptly
# with a hooked rootlet. Stem: apparently short and vertical. Leaves:
# a single fan-like cluster, about 60 degrees wide, of long narrow
# leaves, resembling palm leaflets.
#
# [3,6] Root: small nondescript tuber with many hairs. Stem:
# vertical, unbranched. Leaves: broad, lance-shaped (almost round),
# with a short "beak".
#
# [3,7] Root: small carrot-like main root ending with three short rootlets.
# Stem: two branches (or leaf stalks) rising from the root, one vertical, one oblique.
# Leaves: two, each with 5 lance-shaped fingers, narrow and long,
# fanning out from the end of the stalk, with a spread of about 60 degrees.
#
# [3,8] Root: twisted humpy tuber, mostly horizontal, with several
# rootlets at the periphery. Stem: straight, unbranched. Leaves:
# two paired, lance-shaped, with very short stalks, attached at
# mid-stem. Flowers: a single spindle-shaped inflorescence, at the
# tip of the stem.
#
# [3,9] Root: two round, light tubers, with a fringe of rootlets at the
# bottom. Stem: vertical, unbranched. Leaves: almond-shaped,
# tapering to a point; paired, except for the only one at the top.
#
# [3,10] Root: a round bulb with a long, narrow, tapering root growing
# horizontally to the right. Stem: vertical, unbranched. Leaves:
# triangular "fans" or "spatulas" (somewhat gingko-like) broad and
# short, paired, attached directly to the stem and coplanar with
# it. Fruits: three dark berries with medium-length stalks and a
# light-colored circle at the top. (The "fruits" could be
# flowers.)
#
# Comments:
#
# As proof that panels f101v2 (this page) and f101v1
# comprise a single logical page, note that v1 has no containers,
# but otherwise has the same layout as v2: three rows of plants (the
# first two labeled), and three paragraphs at the bottom. Moreover
# the paragraphs in v2 have 3.0, 3.0, and 3.0 lines, all aligned
# with those of v1; and the last paragraph of v2 is followed by a
# right-justfied title---which lines up neatly with the last line of
# v1. [Stolfi]
#
# The source of the reproduction in O'Neill's paper is acknowledged
# as "Through the kindness of Mrs Voynich, the owner of the Ms, Dr.
# Petersen of this institution, possesses a photostat copy of it".
# [Gabriel 98/Mar/07]
#
# The position of the containers suggests they were not
# planned from the beginning, but added after the plant drawings
# were complete. In fact this seems to be true of the whole pharma
# section. [Stolfi]
#
# "Fair copies" of some of these plant drawings are found elsewhere. [Stolfi]
#
# Some of the plants on row 2 could be algae. [Stolfi]
#
# Plant [1,2] strongly resembles the "sunflower" on f93r. [Stolfi]
#
# Plant [2,4] has roots with 'knots' as if it's a tree. The leaves
# look like chestnut's. [Rene 98/Aug/16]
#
# The leaves and overall shape of plant [3,1] resemble those of
# plant f100v[3,3]. [Stolfi]
#
# The root and face on the root of plant [3,4] are standard medieval
# symbolism. (Presumably it means that a "good" specimen is one
# whose shape and spots resemble a human face, just as a "good"
# mandrake root is one that resembles a human body.) [Stolfi 98/Aug/13]

# Description:
#
# This page is blank except for four lines of text at the top
# (numbered "0" to "3") and some drawings at the top left corner.
#
# The text is rougly justified against the left margin, and ragged
# on the right. Line 0 is flush against the top edge of the vellum,
# lines 1-3 lie about 1/2 inch below it, with normal interline
# spacing. Except for two Voynichese words at the beginning of line
# 3, the text is written in a peculiar script ("Michitonese") that
# seems to be intermediate between ordinary (Latin) alphabet and the
# VMs script. The handwriting is irregular and not very readable.
# The letters in line 0 is somewhat smaller but apparently in the
# same handwriting as the rest.
#
# The area next to the upper left corner is hevily stained and
# wrinkled. There is a large hole in the vellum, 2-3mm wide, near
# the upper left corner, about 2cm from the edges. Lines 1 and 2
# of the text start right next to the hole.
#
# In the dark region between the hole and the left edge, roughly
# aligned with text line #2, there is the drawing of a four-legged
# animal, resembling a dog with round ears, short hais, and a fat
# but pointed tail. The animal is facing left, with the snout right
# against the vellum's edge.
#
# Below the animal is a female nymph (with breasts), naked except for some
# simple hat. She is facing seems to be seated on a sloping surface,
# right at the edge of the dark area, with arms stretched sideways
# and down.
#
# Above the anumal there is a drawing of an unidentified bulbous object.
#
# There is a large question mark at the right margin, aligned with
# line 3 but well beyound its end. It shows up in Newbold's reproduction.
#
# In one reproduction of this page there is a very faint line of modern-style
# digits below part of the first line. Each letter (but not the "+"
# signs) has a single digit below it; except that one can see also
# the numerals "10" and "13", each squeezed under a single letter.
# (Part of the line is unreadable, so "11" and "12" could be there
# too.) However these digits were probably scribbled on the copy,
# since they do not show up in Newbold's reproduction.
#
# Comments:
#
# THE SCRIPT
#
# Jacques Guy [] mentions the Michitonese script resembles that of a
# 1460 German manuscript in Latin reproduced in [1, p.78]. In that
# sample, there are letters that look like Voynich 8, but they stand
# for "d" not "s". Final "s" is written like the modern "es-zet".
#
# Jacques [29 Mar 1996] also suggest that "ct" coudl be a "t" as
# found in Benaventan and Visigothic manuscripts, and "9" could
# be "us".
#
# Rene Zandbergen [27 Mar 1996] confirms similarity of Michitonese
# with another German manuscript from 1440, in German [2]. In that
# sample too `d' was written as `8', `so' was written "just like in
# the VMS(?)", and `Venus' was written `Ven9'. He adds later [28 Oct
# 98] that the f116v text "looks more like a German hand than
# anything else. Not Kircher's, not Marci's but earlier."
#
# Some of the "Michitonese" letters seem purposefully distorted to
# resemble Voynichese letters.
#
# Denis Mardle [19 Apr 97] notes that the Michitonese writing is
# "not unlike" the small extraneous writing on f17r.
#
# Stolfi [01 Nov 98] notes that the Michitonese script resembles
# that of the "month names" in the center of the "zodiac" diagrams.
# For example, the last character of line 1 is similar to the first
# character of the Pisces label (f70v2). If the two sets are indeed
# by the same hand, then the month names give valuable clues on the
# Michitonese alphabet.
#
# THE TEXT
#
# Before seeing what the text actually looks like, Stolfi [5 Feb
# 1998] conjectured that the text could be an anagram, given that it
# resembles a "Scrabble end-game". Unfortunately anagrams of that
# size are practically unsolvable without a clue.
#
# Common opinion is that the f116v text is scribblings by a would-be
# decipherer. However this theory does not seem compatible with the
# "ordinary" appearance of the text, and does not explain the
# normal-looking Voynichese words ("oror sheey" in EVA) inserted in
# the text.
#
# Rene [5 Feb 1998] conjectures that the "would-be decipherer" is
# the same person who wrote the character tables on f1r. Rene also
# remarks that one can exclude Dee, Kelley, Askham, Ricci, and
# Bacon, since the third line is very likely German.
#
# Andras Kornai [25 Nov 1998] says that says that "-d" is the 2nd
# person posessive ending in Hungarian, but the text does not seem
# to be Hungarian.
#
# Newbold [1921] reads the first line, rather arbitrarily, as "michiton
# oladabas multos te tccr cerc portas" (and ignores the other three).
# After many arbitrary manipulations he gets a "cipher key" out of it.
#
# Brumbaugh reads the text as "(...)con olada ba", interprets
# "con...ba" as an anagram of "bacon", and turns "olada" into
# 'rodgd' by adding 3 to each letter. Brumbaugh then says "rodgd"
# means "roger"; but he concludes that this evidence was planted by
# Dee/Kelly. (Reported by Rene [2 Feb 1998].)
#
# Jim Reeds [15 Apr 94] quotes Erwin Panofsky [4] who reads the
# second line as "so nim geismi[l]ch o", meaning, "... take goats
# milk, or..."
#
# Jacques Guy [] remarks that the the word that Newbold and others
# read "valst" or "valsch" is actually "valde" ("strongly, very") in
# the 1460 german manuscript [1, p.78].
#
# Rene, tongue in cheek [15 Apr 1998], notes that the mapping
# {ol->d, m->p, ch->e, d->b, b->n} turns "michiton oladabas" into
# "pieiton d abanas", i.e. "Pietro d'Abano" modulo transcriber
# errors.
#
# Rene [07 Feb 96], looking at D'Imperio's photocopy, thinks that
# there might be at least one (unreadable) letter before "michiton".
#
# Rene [13 Mar 1996] noted that the text begins with "mich" and ends
# with "nich", suggesting it was written by "MICHael voyNICH".
#
# Rene [5 Feb 1998] notes that some Voynichese words are similar to
# "oladabas", e.g. the label on the NE corner of f67v2 ("otararain").
# Dennis [28 Oct 1998] suggests "otardar" from f67r1 (outer circle,
# at 11:00).
#
# Rene [28 Oct 1998] also suggests f76v.P.19 ("orar.sheey") as a
# possible source for line 3. Stolfi observes that there is also
# an "aror.sheey" on f104r.P.28.
#
# Stolfi [] remarks that "Olazabal" or "Olazábal" is a common mame
# in Spanish-speaking areas, probably of Basque origin.
#
# THE DRAWINGS
#
# Rene [18 Sep 1997] thinks the animal looks like a horse. Stolfi []
# thought it could be a dog.
#
# Rene also observes [] that the nymph on f116v looks very much like the
# "dead" nymph on page ???---which also has extraneous writing, possibly
# by the same hand.
