Register or Login to view.I also frequently argued against the notion (maybe introduced by Nick Pelling?) that the parallel hatching in the MS showed familiarity with renaissance techniques. While it's still not the subtle cross-hatching we get in later artists, there may have been more truth to that idea than I thought. It does seem to be mimicking drawing techniques straight from a renaissance source.
For this it would be necessary to make a represetative list of where hatching seems to appear in the Voynich MS.
From what I remember (years ago now) the cases were not all fully convincing.
The influence of Renaissance in Siena MS may be a complicated issue...
