  Yes, i know this should probably have been posted at the water cooler,
  but i already entered the text and attachments, when i realized that, 
  so please don't get angry on me again, and perhaps you can help moving this to the correct category?
  
  -------
  
  I know there was a discussion on a page on many oooooo's after a 15 minute search i give up
  and post this thread, perhaps it can be moved after we 've located that other posting ?
  
  I wanted to share these images:

  page:front paste down
  What is interesting about this text is that on the 4th line resembles two letters, as in the vms,
  you see something that looks like yortalem or ajortlem, but there are very little words i can read.
  
  
  [attachment=331]
  page 19r
  Here you can see letters in the picture have been used to show a=oriens, o=occidenz d=angulus ..?
  This is used on the other pages as well.

  Hi David,
  is it You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.?
  
  The first word of the 4th line of the ms you attached could be "mortalem".

  PS: google says it's Ovid, Metamorphoses Book XI 202-4
  
  cumque tridentigero tumidi genitore profundi
  mortalem induitur formam Phrygiaeque tyranno
  aedificat muros pactus pro moenibus aurum.

  Sorry, Davidsch,
  
  I know some people have "later" theories about the VMs and I thought they may be interested. Here is the John Dee handwritten version

  The whole front paste down  - You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. -   is Ovid, Met. 11,147-246, v. ms. - description - You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
  And the oooo's are 0000's, of course. And even if i repeat myself, I think a great part of the VMs are Roman and Arabic numerals

  Ellie, could you give your reference for the "john dee" version?  Thanks.
  
  Is this your own find, and if not, can you recall who you learned about it from - thnx by 2.
  
  PS. Excellent little pic.

  I mentioned it few years ago on the list- the Wales library just had id-ed the manuscript to be in John Dee's hand. I have no idea if it the Trithemius original was discussed before.

  Quote:And the oooo's are 0000's, of course.

  
  If so, then the text (Re f70r1) is written backwards, which is an interesting possibility in itself. E.g. suppose ar is a digit (which I had an idea of, application to f116v), and l is a digit as well, and then nine nulls are appended.

  And why not? But not necessarily, it could be a series of numerals without dividers, just as an example something like a latitude, 000 degrees, 000 minutes, xyz seconds. Some of the diagrams look like common astronomical diagrams and there are always some numerals in the circles
