Re: VMs: VOYNICH CATALOGUES

[jean-yves artero <jyartero@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nick

 

Thanks for your reply. I cannot scan at the moment, but I am to try and find an other way to show you an evidence of the fact that the woodcut in Ovason s book and V.s catalogs front covers as I saw it in this forum are very much alike. (Where are they  BTW?). Which is perhaps meaningless after all!

 

I was i.a. thinking about the possibility of Wilfred s interest in astrology, N., A., or old books and so on.

 

My approach is of course based upon the astronomical/astrological part of VM. Perhaps you too know that there is a "legend" about N. meeting in Italy an Italian physician specialised in medicinal herbs short before the first publication of the Centuries/Prophecies.

 

Otherwise your Chomerat is the good one.

 

Yours

 

Jean
