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 [Image: 4.jpg]

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) [Image: vita.jpg]

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 ?
