The critical issue, for Vms studies is not only form, but – most importantly – intended significance.
This factor is one rein (as it were) in directly one’s research; the other is the mapping of where we find, together, the use of a set of similar forms carrying similar significance.

Thus, in that short blog which reprised no more than some key illustrations from my earlier and more in-depth discussions, the point was that we find together in the same region the conception of the star-as-flower TOGETHER with use of the spiral/whorl pattern to signify the sun.

This is an unusual combination of themes, so far as I’ve found, and the significance attached to each severally, and both together is the point of the 7thC illustration set first in the ‘assemblage’ recently posted.. or re-posted, depending on how you care to define it.

I liked the image from the Rothschild florilegium. In one of the series written for ‘Voynichimagery’ I commented briefly on the Spain-Flanders entanglements – a fascinating subject and one which I wish I’d had time to go into in more depth.

What is plainly different, of course, is the cultural character evinced. To get it right, any proposed provenance(s) for imagery in the Vms must match form, significance and cultural character INCLUDING recognition of, and discussion of, those marked differences between attitudes and customs in Latin (i.e. western Christian Europe’s) expression of its worldview and what is found in the imagery in Beinecke MS 408.

Since I’ve already published my analyses of the folios in question (which you’ve kindly referenced above for everyone’s convenience – thanks), I won’t waste space repeating any of it here.

Thanks very much for mentioning that little digest of mine. Appreciated.
