Just to point out that the nymph (and the aardvark?) in the left margin 
would appear to support Philip's contention of it's being a quill-testing page.

Though I'm sticking to my Third Way for now, because of all those crosses. :-)

Hmmm... the balneological nymphs aside, there are few obvious marginalia in 
the VMS, though the "dying nymph" at the bottom of f66r does spring to mind 
- the text in the corner there also looks somewhat like the "michiton" hand.

Perhaps Michitonese is the official language of Voynich marginalia? :-)

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
