help on the 4 - Davidsch - 29-02-2016 In different documents we can see some characters that resemble the 'gallow' characters,   but not in combination with the very straight character 4. The number 4 used in manuscripts in the period 1300-1475  is rare, because they often uses  the   for the number 4  Als ligatures that resemble a four are not quite the same as the Voynich 4. Often you see a 4 but it is an accidental 4 based on a +  like this (vita + felicitas)   Now, i have found some presentations of the 4, but i am not always sure what they mean in the context. Does anyone have other paleographical examples of the 4 in that period, that would be interesting as well of course Can you help with the transcripiton ? a) (STORY reports a.o. on the first three voyages of Columbus) You are not allowed to view links.
