hello

 i do beilive  there is a  relation between the drawing and the text also
i've mainly have been looking at astrology section .
but i would like to know  if any one has tried to taking the name that is
given under the  liones drawing in 72.1v and tried  to break the code on
only that word  by using  all the names you could come up with for what that
pic stands for .
also has any one noticed that some of the circles in the astorlogy chart
appeared to be drawn with a compass and others are free handed.

by the way in 73.v the man in the center of the chart is holding a crossbow
does any one know when the crossbow was invented i belive its origanly from
france but i'm not  sure ?
