Actually neither resemble the traditional sign of Cancer -- the crab. One is two scorpions, the other two crayfish.
But both are arranged opposite hard-to-tail, like the common depiction of Pisces -- which I guess derives from the traditional Western "reading" of the constellation on the sky.
If the VMS was scribed North of the Alps, the Scribe may have never seen a scorpion. Could it be that he (or the author of whatever book he used as "inspiration") misinterpreted a double-scorpion sign of Arabic origin as a pair of crayfish?
All the best, --stolfi
Yes, that occurred to me as well. In these Persian and Arabic manuscripts, the sign of Cancer is depicted more like a crab. The key point remains that these images are zoomorphic magical amulets. They look like animals, yet magical symbols are concealed within the body's form, and the arrangement of these symbols corresponds to a numerical grid. I am increasingly entertaining the idea that the Voynich Manuscript is a Hermetic work. Against the backdrop of the Book of Enoch, it integrates various angelic esoteric traditions from Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Egypt, and so on. As I review this now, it becomes clear that these ancient esoteric teachings all share common foundations.
