RE: No text, but a visual code - Antonio García Jiménez - 14-02-2020
The Voynich is a book of science, it's not a religion or art book. Arin (or Arim, Arym) is more a theoretical concept than a practical one. It is a point on the equatorial line, the zero meridian, the center of the world at equal distance from North, South, East and West. Latitude 0º, longitude 0º. Jerusalem at a latitude of 30º cannot be the center of the world for medieval science.
The Arabs took the concept of the Indians and called it Qubbat al-Arin, dome of the world. In the Middle Ages it was they who had come closest to the Equator. The imagination turned that point into a city of difficult location. Western science picked up the idea of the Arabs and incorporated it into their Geography and Cosmography. Roger Bacon was one of the first to talk about Arin, and Pierre D'Ailly did it in his Imago Mundi, a contemporary work of Voynich. So did Christopher Columbus in his letters.
Arin, the equatorial line, the place where the hours of the day are the same as those of the night. There was something magical about it for medieval humanity, something we don't feel.
No westerner ever traveled to Arin, but its power of attraction must have been enormous. I believe that the city drawn on the Rosette folio represents Arin. Obviously, the author drew a western city that he knew well.
