Heliocentric Universe -- 54v (Beinecke)

["Dana F. Scott" <dfscott@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If we examine the VMS under the premise that everything is meaningful
with a specific purpose for being incorporated within the manuscript,
then when we examine f54v and see at its center a dot encompassed by a
circle which is then again surrounded by a somewhat rectangular border
somehow reminiscent of flora, it begs the question as to what this may
represent. Well, what comes to my mind, and may already have been
previously observed is that a dot with circle surrounding it is a
symbolic representation of the sun, our yellow sun, Sol. This is very
interesting, for if this true then the VMS is most likely post
Copernican. And what about the rectangular floral shape? Here I may be
have gotten off the beaten path, but perhaps it is almost a subconscious
drawing reminiscent of the multitude of labyrinth designs that can be
found in Tuscany, especially in the Renaissance gardens and inlaid
labyrinth designs in the floors of cathedrals. And the ladies with their
arms raised reminds me of the zodiac of Tentyra diagram that I believe
is already familiar to the VMS group.

Regards,
Dana
