Hi bluetoes101,
I'm currently, and for a while, in a country where access to imgur, among many other sites, is blocked. I wish I could see the pics you link to.
Is there any way you could add these images in another form? Yes, I know, I should just do the VPN thing... I guess I haven't adapted yet... I'll get there.
In any case, as you note in your OP, there have been suggestions before that there is a volcano depicted in the 9 rosette foldout page. I remember that after reading Ellie Velinska's post, I had tried to find medieval depictions of volcanoes, and came up empty handed.
This was really surprising to me: I would have thought that such a spectacular phenomenon as volcanic eruptions would have been something worth depicting, especially considering the well known etna, stromboli, etc... but I was never able to find a single medieval image of them.
If we are going to consider the possibility of a volcano in the Voynich, it would be very helpful to have a contemporary (15thC) image of one to compare it to. Does anyone know of any?
