VMs: Re: Cylinders and the 9 rosettes

["DANA SCOTT" <dscott520@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Johannes,

The three dimensional aspects of the drawings in the VMS are certainly of 
interest and probably warrant further investigation. A question concerning 
the 9-rosettes concerns whether or not the direction of flow can be 
determined. Is the central rosette consuming or effusing to the forces of 
nature that surrond it (light, water, minerals, air/ether, etc.)?

I prefer to think of the figures noted in f86v4 as robed females associated 
with the moon (which may be significant). It would be interesting to 
determine the meaning of what these figures are offering up in their hands? 
There are some, though apparently very few, male figures appearing in the 
drawings of the VMS.

Regards,
Dana Scott

Dear list,
Has anyone experimented with shiny cylinders on  the 9 rosettes?
The spiral text round the centre of no 3 (with the castle) caught my eye.The 
centre is empty.
So, by lack of better equipment I placed the lipstick holder of my wife in 
there and strange things occur, but this device is far from perfect ,,just 
like the prints so can't make much of it yet.
Putting the cylinder in the centre one(no 5),something nice happens with the 
"mills", no 2,4 and 8.
They "hang" above the centre pourring whatever it is downwards, like above 
the nymph with the cross on 79v. and others.
Maybe placing a much larger cylinder in no5,only leaving the outside ring 
gives a better impression, but I haven't found anything proper to use for 
that .
Another example of cylinder usage could be f86v4.The one with the moon in 
the centre and the four men around as the "seasons".
The left man is looking at the left,the right one to the right,the bottom 
one shows his front, the top one his back.
Placing a shiny cylinder in the centre ,goin' around, one is lookig at the 
same person in the centre like walking around him,though the armpositions 
alter...

For now, have to find proper cylinders or someone who tells me to check the 
archives better before wasting time on something already done before!

Cheers, Johannes.
