Re: VMs: statistics of the german language 14th/15th century

[steve ekwall <ekwall2@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Nick :-)

   THE date(S) are  lined(ing).up now - especially if 'Arabic' 
PREceded (high/or low modern) 'German'...

IKNO (:I Know Not Of:) Pre-degree Zodiac(?) (before-1293)..this month 
we 
have 5 "planets" in view (on this hemisphere) (this date)... 
WERE older _astrologers/star gazers_ 
[no 'astronomy' then? (pre 1293) - right?], beyond _us_ then THEN?


Best to you & yours :-)

~still, the vms is 'older than we think!'~

p.s. (AND THIS IS INTENDED for NO ONE on the list, but MANY people 
read something by someone else and assume, well, s/he tried THAT and 
failed in its pursuit....  so we might never look backw (I question 
only how far one [s/he] followed the 
path,) before this path is (dubbed) failure?!  it's almost a catch-22
check & double check is always good! 

Carpenters Rule?: measure twice, cut once! :-)

.pss. as a copy of a copy etc... surely the stand alone characters 
structure would have been 'preserved' if not understood by 
(copying) SCRIBE(s)?, hence, IT'S either an ORIGNAL or a very close 
copy of it! (color(s) not withstanding).

 All we're talking about is when it was *written down*, not when it was 
 *originated*. That's another story entirely...
 
 For example: as Rene has pointed out, the per-degree zodiac diagrams seem 
 consistent with the kind of per-degree astrology Pietro d'Abano learnt in 
 Constantinople (probably before 1293). However, that system (in turn) seems 
 to have come through the much earlier Arabic astrologer Abu Ma'shar... and 
 so we probably won't know more about that particular chain (tradition) 
 until we can read Voynichese. :-)
 
 Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
