"ma+" on f116v marginalia
#8
I've been referring to those manuscripts for a while now as well. This one is also interesting because it gives female genitalia to some male figures. In the paper I'm writing now, I'm comparing Voynich images to those found in the early (9thC) Aratea.


I think the ma+ is an abbreviation for "magnitude", and what we are dealing with is an abbreviated description of stars. I think the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. marginalia might be the same. Perhaps the copyist had a Latin Al Sufi and copied something from it as a pen test.

There's also the word "fixta" (fixed stars) which might well be abbreviated to "fix"

This is huge.
