Re: VMs: Modern Voynich-like Script

Hi Dennis
The very first time I see this sort of H. You will be pleased to know that for an alchemist
this letter is the one for spirit, according to the tradition I know (a bit).

Do you mean a gallows-like H? I hadn't heard that such a symbol was alchemical! Please elaborate.


May I add that you here are very probably in the rue (street) Nicolas Rolin, a man who is
especially
famous in Beaune (Cote d'Or) :

Thanks! I had looked for this place but couldn't find it. The man in the window is obviously Phillipe Le Bon; it's a rather curious image, since it looks like a photo of a real sign, but the face is a painting.


By the way his life and work was not totally unconnected to alchemy; for instance one of his
mottos was : "seule étoile" (the only star). Which is Voynichese enough, too!
Perhaps you will be pleased to know that in Beaune you may find this motto and that the word "seule" is written, but the "étoile" is represented by a star painted.
May the chancellor NR point us at the right direction; best wishes.
Jean Le Bon

On ne sait jamais... surtout avec le VMs.
