just as a crazy wild idea... could the first page
represent some kind of contents page?... with the first red symbol looks like a
plant in the ground... and the second symbol looks like some kind of jar with
smoke coming out (possibly representing alchemy...
at the end of each of the paragraphs there is a
separate right justified piece of text... could this represent the section
author? if i remember rightly it has been mentioned that certain pages/sections
look like they have been written by different people.
The first folio page has four of these
paragraphs... possibly representing herbs, alchemy/pharmaceutical, astrology and
biological? each with a seperate author?
or am i going crazy from looking at this
manuscript?!
