Does the diamond on the patch between circle 5/8 (bottom left) look like a
directional indicator to anyone else? The triangle is in the "fort".
BTW: The fort appears to be in the style of Vauban. Vauban
created the "bible" for forts, siege warfare, etc. This guy was a military
genius who pretty much revolutionized warfare. When you see a fort where
the design is such that there is no "undefended" length of wall that is a
fort that was created post Vauban. If true, that would nail the
manuscript to a date no earlier than the 1640s.

In the mean time, what do you mean with the '5 main parts'? There is one scan of the page already, which is not great, but the only colour one available at the moment. Does anything you're referring to show up on that one? http://www.voynich.nu/img/clips/rosettes.gif Yes, I know that the top three circles are essentially missing :-((( Cheers, Rene __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
