EL MANUSCRITO VOINICH PUEDE SER UN TRATADO SOBRE OBSERVACIONES DE CELULAS CON UN MICROSCOPIO RUDIMENTARIO. http://santa-coloma.net/voynich_drebbel/voynich.

html This page describes my theory about the possible origins, dating and content of the mysterious Voynich Manuscript. This theory proposes that the Voynich Manuscript may be a faux book, which was created between 1610 and 1620, and made to look as though it came from Francis Bacon's fictional island of New Atlantis. And as such, that it was made to look much older than it was, and that it includes a map of the fictional Bensalem, along with both real and fanciful representations of optics and other devices, flora and fauna, the Arts and sciences, astronomy and astrology. And, that much of this was reflected from past, real works, but distorted into an imaginative reflection of how the author thought they would have been perceived and practiced by the advanced, fictional culture of New Atlantis. The theory further supposes that it may have been created under the influence of, and possibly created by someone from, the circle of Francis Bacon's near contemporaries and their world. These include Cornelis Drebbel, Michael Maier, Solomon De Caus, Johann Valentin Andreae, William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Simon Forman, Robert Fludd, among others. Voynich/Optics: I first show the imagery comparisons behind my reasoning that the Voynich Manuscript contains optics. If certain tubes in the Voynich are optics, it points to the possibility that the Rosicrucian alchemist and inventor, Cornelis Drebbel, may be the author, or somehow involved in its' creation. In 2006 I wrote an article for Renaissance Magazine titled: The Voynich Manuscript: Drebbel's Lost Notebook? (Issue #53, March 2007). This theory began when I saw that certain objects in the Voynich bear a striking resemblance to early microscopes. If they are microscopes, then the author of the Voynich would have been very familiar with this technology. This points to Drebbel, because he was making and selling microscopes by 1620, and probably earlier, and actually made at least one "with three brass legs" (Peiresc letter, 1632). As it turns out, he was also appointed the Chief Alchemist to Rudolf II's court at about the time the Voynich first appears there. In the court, he rubbed elbows with Kepler, who wrote and published Dioptrice in 1610/11. Kepler described microscopes in this work. In addition, looking through the Voynich, and at Drebbel's style of illustration and artwork, I feel there are compelling similarities. Francis Bacon's New Atlantis: After working on the project for several years, and a year and a half after the release of the Renaissance article, I've came to feel much less that the Voynich represents a real document. That is, I don't feel it represents all real items, processes or places. It seems to be a fictional manuscript, in other words. As such, I would no longer call it a "notebook". I came to these decisions for many reasons, but was led there by first noting very interesting parallels between Francis Bacon's Utopia, The New Atlantis, and many of the illustrations in the VMs. The New Atlantis was partly inspired by Cornelis Drebbel and his inventions. Among the Drebbel-related inclusions are microscopes, the perpetual clock, the submarine, automatic fountains, and more. But both the Voynich and the New Atlantis, in addition to these (some speculative, as my optics are), include baths with nudes, unidentifiable, grafted plants and unidentifiable animals, and more. If one were to construct a mock "Bible of New Atlantis", or Book of Solomon as it would have come from the fictional New Atantis, it would not look much different than the Voynich. But as such, this has opened the possibility, within the theory, to a circle of influence, and less to one particular author. This circle would include Michael Maier, Robert Fludd, Francis Bacon, Drebbel, Simon Forman, Shakespeare, Solomon De Caus, Thomas Harriot, Andreae, and others. All these people were deeply involved in one or several of these disciplines: The Utopia, cipher and codes, artificial and Native American languages and characters, optics, fiction in art and literature, the New World and exploration, the Protestant cause in Europe, Rosicrucianism, alchemy and science. They were all very aware of each other's works, most knew the rest, personally. The more I learn about this circle, the more feel that it should be no surprise if a work such as the Voynich Ms. would be something someone from this group could, or would, create... for the purpose I propose. As for actual creation, I am looking most closely at Drebbel, Maier, and Fludd. H. Richard SantaColoma The Voynich "Microscopes" The significance of these objects, if microscopes, is great. Our present understanding of the melding of alchemy and science, and the roots of the study of microscopy, would be altered.

Various Microscopes from the 17th and 18th centuries. The lower left device is Galileo's On the left is an f88r tube from the Voynich. Next to it is a microscope of circa-1610/14. It is covered in 3D computer image I made to recreate it as a "real colored vellum. The upper right is also attributed to object". For a texture I used moroccan leather from an Galileo, 1609. The other devices post-date my image of a book, which looked close the the Voynich theory by 10 to 50 years. illustration's pattern. Note the bluish/green color the illustrator chose for the top of this object. Close-up of the cap to the jar/microscope above. Note the shading/shaping lines, just visible in the blue-green area. These would only have been there to show a "shaping" to the surface... it was not flat, but convex... like a lens would be.

VMs artist uses this shading elsewhere, as on this "pea", to show shaping.

Two "tubes" from the Voynich. It has continually surprised me that no-one had previously thought they may be microscopes, they look so similar. Note the recessed centers of the tops. They are drawn just as lenses, secured by rings, would be. And they have varying diameters, implying sliding tubes. Below is a representation of the two above tubes, recreated in CAD:

I am hard pressed to see any significant difference to the structure of the above 18th century microscopes, and the Voynich jars to the left. This image is from an 18th century Spanish optical book, which I am in the process of tracking down for better images, and complete descriptions. So far, I can find no herbal jars which look like these VMs "jars". Most herb and pharmaceutical containers from the 14th through 17th centuries, while elaborate, take on a different form. For one thing, they usually have curved sides, bases and/or top, rather than the straight barrel sides of the "optical" VMS drawings. There are, however, other objects in the VMs which do like like jars, or something else. For instance, Egyptian perfume jars are a close match for many "curvy" VMs drawings. But for the straight sided, recessed top, multiple diameter tube/barrel VMs objects, the optical devices are a much better match.

This tube, from f102r, is shown on an additional page of 14 Voynich tubes which look very optical: click here to see the page. The tops on these jars do not at first seem very microscope-like. But compare the tops to the Magny 'scope to the right. I will now assume the cap on the Magny to be a protective cover, considering the evidence of the cut-away in the scope below.

A 17th century microscope from the Museum of Science, Italy. Compare to the f102r tube shown to the left. Both are made of two diameters, with recessed tops, multiple "rings" at the top and bottom, and decorative elements on the green sections. Not an exact match, but the similarities are undeniable. Each observer must ask: Is the VMs drawing closer to the shown microscope, or closer to a jar, candle or something else? In the engraving above, we see the same form as this device... and both are microscopes. In the actual device, we see how they were often decorated and colored. And both the engraving and the actual item match closely the VMs drawing.

Magny, 1740

This microscope is from an early 1700's book by Joblot. Compare to the "jars", above. the cut-a-way now explains the reason for the caps on these microscopes.. . they were a protective accessory. Also compare the knurling of this device, and the overall general shape of both "jars" above.

Nurembur g, 18th century. Note the cap, and the green and red vellum covering with decorative gilt tooling. Below, an Italian 17th century model:

A close-up of what could be knurling on the f88r tube. Compa re this to the knurlin g on the Joblot 'scope above, and the 18th and 19th century exampl es to the right. Knurlin g is used to get a grip on the different sections for adjustment and disassembly. In microscopes, the more complex ones use knurling, and the simpler (two tube sliding) devices often do not. In the VMs, the more elaborate tubes often have these lines, and the simpler ones do not.

Kepler's Dioptrice, 1611 In 1611, while in the court of Rudolf II, Kepler published his book on optical theory, Dioptrice. In the book he describes convex and concave lenses, and how they work, and how they work in combinations in telescopes and microscopes. There are many diagrams such as the one to the left, from page 44. Here is a quote from the Mccord Museum website, "In 1611, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) suggested the construction of a compound microscope that used convex lenses for both the objective and the eyepiece. The Kepler microscope provided a larger field of view and became the prototype of the modern microscope." This was the first confirmation I could find that there were microscopes in the court of Rudolf. Not only microscopes, but microscopy experimentation, which reflect the implications of the variety of VMs tubes. Drebbel was in the court of Rudolf, alongside Kepler, at the same time. Who made these lenses and microscopes for Kepler? Drebbel was an experienced lens grinder and lens glass maker and experimenter at the time he entered the court. It defies logic that Kepler would have ignored that fact while working on Dioptrice, and the included devices. Also, Drebbel is known to be the first to build one with twin convex lenses (the previous Janssen's had one convex and one concave). Kepler is the

first person to descibe a microscope with twin convex lenses, in Dioptrice, in 1611, while Drebbel was working in the same place. So Drebbel enters the court, with Kepler in it, making lenses, and leaves claiming to be able to make telescopes, and making microscopes of the type Kepler described. Did he build none while in the court? Furthermore, do you suppose that no one thought to use these microscopes, nor record their results... somewhere? Interestingly, this is the only optical design I have found which matches the "waist" of the f88r jar. The proportions are different, but not by much, and the lenses of page 44 match the changes in diameter, and the "knurling", of the jar. Click here.

Kepler also owned a telescope about 1610-1611, and it's design was "based on that of Galileo's" device. To the left is a portion of an accurate modern replica of Galileo's telescope. The entire telescope is much longer, this is only one end. You can see the replica, made by Jim& Rhoda Morris, and how it was created, at this excellent site. We do not know what Kepler's telescope actually looked like. But the point is that in the period, this is how an optical device was envisioned and created. It is not a leap to imagine there was an optical instrument, in the court, which looked much like the Galileo version to the left. Note the coloring, tooling, varying diameters, and compare to the VMs tubes. The VMs contains what many have believed to be star observations, and possibly even constellations. In fact it has often been suggested that the author of the VMs may have at least had access to a telescope. Drebbel pleaded with James I, in 1612, to let him come back to London. He professed to be able to build a telescope able to "read a letter at a country mile". Where did he learn to do this?

Other optical connections:

Does this microscope have similarities to the Voynich tubes? This is a 1658 Kircher microscope. Kircher made the first report of seeing micro-organisms with the microscope, which he made himself. Kircher also accumulated a vast collection of scientific and alchemal equipment and literature. He constructed many fountains, clocks, musical instruments and automatia. Many of these devices, including his design for the microscope, seem to be influenced by the inventions of Cornelis Drebbel. Many devices were powered by the same pneumatic and hydraulic princples Drebbel used. It is believed by some that Kircher "borrowed" heavily from the lore of Drebbel. There is even a Drebbel thermoscope pictured in one engraving of Kircher's museum. Coincidentally, Kircher was an early hope to decypher the Voynich. As early as 1639 he was provided with copies of text from the manuscript. He was later given pages, and by 1665, it seems, he received the whole work. It is not known whether Kircher made any progress in his attempts to break the secrets of the Voynich... but the fact that he had such a strong outpouring of "Drebbelesque" technologies bears note. That, and the fact that some have thought the actual first sightings of microscopic life might be in the Voynich, and the first known sightings of microscopic life, again, was Kircher, in 1658.

And again, does this microscope have similarities to Voynich tubes? To Kircher's microscope, above? This is Hooke's famous instrument, which he used to examine insects, cork cells, and whatnot. He published his findings in Micrographia, in the 1660's. There is a Drebbel connection here, too, in that Hooke had an ongoing association with Drebbel's daughter for several years. It is not known all that Hooke gleaned from this association, but considering that Drebbel was a microscope pioneer, and that Hooke was another, it is considered likely that micrsocopy was among the topics passed along. In Tierie's 1932 biography of Drebbel, "If we inspect Hooke's own microscope we find that it shows a strong resemblence to Drebbel's...", and "...this resemblance...is not to be wondered at, when we remember that, Hooke was intimately aquainted with the Kuffler's [Drebbel's son's in law] and also with Drebbel's daughter". So here we have two Voynich-tube-like microscopes, the makers of which are connected to Drebbel, and one even, to the Voynich itself.

Voynich microscopic images?

To the left is one of many unidentified plants in the Voynich. Over the years others have surmised some of these may be illustrations of microscopic flora and fauna. Some look like cells, veins, fungi, mold, cells and diatoms. This theory would explain two things: If they do not look quite like they should, we might forgive this as the very earliest microscopes may have been incapable of the detail possible decades later. And then the second... the fact that these plants have remained unidentified... for why would someone draw "fake" plants? It is more likely they drew the best, but inaccurate, representations of what they actually saw. .

"Wheel", or circle, from the Voynich. These wheels have been compared to many circles from alchemy texts, but some have thought them diatoms. Look at some wheels from other manuscripts, then look at the diatom to the right.

Diatom from William B. Carpenter's 19th century "The Microscope and its Revealations". The scientific name of this diatom is Arachnoidiscus Japonicus (Plate XII, after page 526). Note these features, comparing the two: The

alternate thick and thin walls, the rays forming a star-like pattern in the "hub, and the rounded ends to the cells compared to the "lozenges" on the Voynich. Click here for labeled overlay comparison.

To the left is the "root" of the "sunflower" in the VMs. Above is another aquatic organism from Carpenter's work, described above. I have found that many marine creatures and plants have this "WWII floating mine" form. Several, such as this one, are represented as green with white rods.

Rosettes Page The New Atlantis

The f86v foldout pages has been compared in the past to cells with cillia, and also diatoms. It does resemble, somewhat, a collection of diatoms as viewed at low power under a light microscope. Would a 17th century discoverer of diatom structure see, or add, cities and fountains? Or whimisically decrorate them, in an imaginative, but un-scientific, inference to compare the micro world to the macro? Or is it simply a map? See the New Atlantis connections, below.

Francis Bacon wrote New Atlantis sometime between 1610 and the early 1620's, but it was first published after his death in 1626. Bacon used the model of his fictional island of Bensalem as a sounding board for his ideas on politics, science, society and religion. In this utopia, science was paramount to the advancement of the society as a whole. Inventions and inventors were lauded by the people, and encouraged by the government. It has been long noted that many of the inventions cited in New Atlantis were most likely based on inventions and devices made by Cornelis Drebbel. Among these are the submarine, the microscope, and a type of "perpetual" clock. This is not too surprising, as Drebbel and Bacon shared rooms at Eltham Palace... they had contact with one another, and Bacon had a fascination with new inventions and discoveries. Bacon actually commented on Drebbel's work, and in one instance expressed frustration at his reliance on the "magical effect" of his perpetual clock, when he would have preferred and open scientific discourse on it's method of operation. In reading New Atlantis, I was not only struck by the previously noted (by others) inclusion of Drebbelesque devices, but also by some striking similarities to the Voynich Manuscript. What it means I do not know, of course, and can only speculate. But perhaps there was some sharing of ideas in New Atlantis with the author of the Voynich... perhaps with Drebbel. Perhaps the Voynich somehow influenced Bacon's utopia, or vice versa. Perhaps it was created as some sort of companion artifact of the New Atlantis, or to convince someone that the fictional Bensalem truly existed. Although this is pure speculation, I do not believe any document, other than New Atlantis, has so many similarities to the Voynich. Below are some images from the VMs, along with text from New Atlantis. And here is a complete copy of New Atlantis. For an overview of my theories, explaining more about them, click here. H.R. SantaColoma

The New Atlantis/Voynich Similarities:

"I have read in a book of one of your men, of a Feigned Commonwealth, where the married couple are permitted, before they contract, to see one another naked. This they dislike; for they think it a scorn to give a refusal after so familiar knowledge: but because of many hidden defects in men and women's bodies, they [the New Atlanteans] have a more civil way; for they have near every town a couple of pools, (which they call Adam and Eve's pools), where it is permitted to one of the friends of the men, and another of the friends of the woman, to see them severally bathe naked." -Francis Bacon, New Atlantis

The Voynich has many baths and pools, filled with naked women, which have so far remained enigmatic. In addtion to the "Adam and Eve" pools, Bacon describes healing baths with tinctured water, used to prolong life and cure disease. It is often suggested that the pools of the Voynich may represent healing or birthing baths. "In these we practise likewise all conclusions of grafting, and inoculating, as well of wild-trees as fruittrees, which produceth many effects. And we make (by art) in the same orchards and gardens, trees and flowers to come earlier or later than their seasons; and to come up and bear more speedily than by their natural course they do. We make them also by art greater much than their nature; and their fruit greater and sweeter and of differing taste, smell, colour, and figure, from their nature. And many of them we so order, as they become of medicinal use." "We have dispensatories, or shops of medicines. Wherein you may easily think, if we have such variety of plants and living creatures more than you have in Europe, (for we know what you have,) the simples, drugs, and ingredients of medicines, must likewise be in so much the greater variety." "We have also means to make divers plants rise by mixtures of earths without seeds; and likewise to make divers new plants, differing from the vulgar; and to make one tree or plant turn into another." -Francis Bacon, New Atlantis

Most of the plants in the Voynich have remained unidentified. Many also show signs of grafting, having points on the roots and limbs where their diameters suddenly change. As for orchards, f85v, panel 2, shows what appears to be three people picking fruit or vegatables, and wheat. Here are two of them:

On animals, "...Also we make them differ in colour, shape,activity,many ways. We find means to make commixtures and copulations of different kinds; which have produced many new kinds..." In the Voynich, the animals have been a mystery. They are for the most part, unidentifiable. By comparison, the animals in New Atlantis would

be unidentifiable, as they are of "many new kinds". However I have been moving toward the idea the the lower right creature may be an Armadillo.

"We have also helps for the sight, far above spectacles and glasses in use. We have also glasses and means to see small and minute bodies perfectly and distinctly; as the shapes and colours of small flies and worms, grains and flaws in gems, which cannot otherwise be seen; observations in urine and blood, not otherwise to be seen." -Francis Bacon, New Atlantis See the optical portion of this theory, above, which makes comparisons between many of the tubes in the Voynich with early microscopes and telescopes.

This image from the bottom of f79r shows what appears to be a floating man, with an arm hooked around a peg through a tube... also floating. There is another peg, seen submerged, also passing through the large tube. From New Atlantis, "We have ships and boats for going under water and brooking of seas, also swimminggirdles and supporters..."

f85v-1 arguably depicts a fountain of some kind. the center blue swirls could easily be water, especially since the 4 tubes or paths radiating from the center end with an obvious "spewing" or "spraying" effect. That alone is significant to the New Atlantis, as it is written, "We have also a number of artificial wells and fountains, made in imitation of the natural sources and baths..." But the significance of this goes further, because Bacon was writing of the inventions of Drebbel and DeCaus when he spoke of artifical fountains. These were powered by the heat of the sun on a chamber, causing an expansion of a trapped volume of air, which forced the water out of tubes, to spray as a fountain. Solar fountains. And this illustration shows a sun in the center. So it not only shows what is conceivably an artifical fountain, but possibly a Drebbelesque one at that. Kircher built these, too, and I can only wonder what he thought, when he saw this page. And he did see it, by all indications. What are the people holding? I don't know. I was originally looking at them as Rosicrucian symbols... but I see nothing so close... except, perhaps for this one, which is a bit like an RC fleur-de-lis. This one is a bit like an orb with a cap (both measuring instruments?), and this woman is either inserting or removing what looks like garlands into, or out of, the water chamber. A New Atlantean, on writings delivered to them by miracle: "There was also in both these writings, as well the Book, as the Letter, wrought a great miracle, conform to that of the Apostles, in the original Gift of Tongues. For there being at that time in this land Hebrews, Persians, and Indians, besides the natives, every one read upon the Book, and Letter, as if they had been written in his own language."-Francis Bacon, New Atlantis The "Gift of Tongues", or "glossolalia", is the speaking of an unintelligible language, presumed to be the language of angels. In the context F.Bacon uses it, the language is understandable by anyone who speaks any language. In the Kennedy/Churchill book on the VMs, it is pointed out that "some researchers" into the VMs have believed the text may

reflect glossolalia. But Bacon's description often interpreted as an example of his form of universal language, or as he called it, "Alphabet of Nature". A wonderful paper by Robert Batchelor of Stanford explains Bacon's interest and intent in such a language, and points out how Descartes felt it would only work in a fantasy world as New Atlantis. The article can be found here. The section II, "From Cipher to Code", refers to Bacon. This is also of interest, as the well known Voynich researcher, Friedman, suspected the VMs was written in a universal language.

"He had on him a gown with wide sleeves, of a kind of water chamolet, of an excellent azure colour, fair more glossy than ours; his under apparel was green; and so was his hat, being in the form of a turban, daintily made, and not so huge as the Turkish turbans; and the locks of his hair came down below the brims of it."New Atlantis Not an exact match... but the woman on the right has a blue gown with wide sleeves. And she appears to be meeting the man on the left, who has a more traditional Renaissance garb.... and a green hat, with the hair coming down below the brim. The point being that the New Atlantis, which was written sometime between 1610 and 1624, does have clothing mentioned which is close to the clothing shown in the Voynich.

"We have high towers; the highest about half a mile in height; and some of them likewise set upon high mountains; so that the vantage of the hill with the tower is in the highest of them three miles at least. And these places we call the Upper Region; accounting the air between the high places and the low, as a Middle Region. We use these towers, according to their several heights, and situations, for insolation, refrigeration, conservation; and for the view of divers meteors; as winds, rain, snow, hail; and some of the fiery meteors also." In the Voynich, the rosettes page's upper center rosette seems to be a "height" (see below). In the center of the star pattern is what seems to be a tower, shown at left. It actually faces downward on the page, I've rotated it 180 degrees. I don't feel this is too improper, as the buildings on the rosettes page(s) are facing in all different directions... there is no set "projection" for this scene.

"...these towers, according to their several heights, and situations..." Well here is certainly an odd "situation"... a tower, in a hole. Above it, another hole. Now this, from New Atlantis, "We have large and deep caves of several depths: the deepest are sunk six hundred fathom: and some of them are digged and made under great hills and mountains..." This image is from the rosettes page, and is the "west side" of the central upper rosette, from which I cropped the tower in the image above. If you look at the sides of this image, you can clearly see the intention was to show a great height. Click on the image for a large view. Click here to see the "east" side of the central rosette, which similarly implies a great height. I find it fascinating that in New Atlantis you have descriptions of these observation towers of great height, on mountains, and of deep caves... and in the the Voynich there is this seemingly fantastical, and unidentifiable (so far), arrangement of towers and mountains.

This is the upper right hand corner of the rosette page from the Voynich. the circle with the "T" in it closely resembles a T/O map, which represented, in medieval times, the known world. The upper portion faced East, and represented Asia. The lower left was Europe, and the lower right, Africa. The "T" was the Mediterranean Sea. In this image, you can see paths connecting the corresponding Europe and Asian portions of the (possible) T/O map, with the upper right rosette. If this is a T/O map, and the rest of the rosettes page is also a map (as it well may be, as it has buildings and paths on it), then the intention of the artist can arguably be interpreted as showing a place outside of Europe, Asia and Africa. From New Atlantis: "When the king had forbidden to all his people navigation into any part that was not under his crown, he made nevertheless this ordinance; that every twelve years there should be set forth, out of this kingdom two ships, appointed to several voyages; That in either of these ships there should be a mission of three of the Fellows or Brethren of Salomon's House; whose errand was only to give us knowledge of the affairs and state of those countries to which they were designed, and especially of the sciences, arts, manufactures, and inventions of all the world; and withal to bring unto us books, instruments, and patterns in every kind..." And: "For the several employments and offices of our fellows; we have twelve that sail into foreign countries, under the names of other nations, (for our own we conceal); who bring us the books, and abstracts, and patterns of experiments of all other parts. These we call Merchants of Light."

From New Atlantis: "Only this I must tell you, that none of you must go above a karan,' (that is with them a mile and an half) 'from the walls of the city, without especial leave." This statement refers to Renfusa. The two important points are that it is walled, and that it is the first city the sailors visit. The rosettes page from the Voynich shows what can be interpreted as a walled city in the upper right. It seems to be connected with a "path" to the T/O map shown above.

As it turns out, it is not unheard of to find utopias illustrated in literature. In fact it was quite common. I've put together this page listing several of them. Many of these illustrations are from, or close, to the time frame this and the Voynich/Drebbel theory speculate the Voynich was actually created.

Esta pgina describe mi teora sobre los posibles orgenes, citas y contenido del misterioso Manuscrito Voynich . Esta teora propone que el manuscrito de Voynich puede ser un libro falso, que fue creado entre 1610 y 1620 y hecho para parecer como si provinieran de Francis Bacon ficticia isla de nueva Atlantis. Y como tal, que se hizo para ver mucho mayor que e incluye un mapa de la ficcin Bensalem, junto con las representaciones reales y fantasiosas de ptica y otros dispositivos, flora y fauna, las artes y las Ciencias, astronoma y astrologa. Y que gran parte de esto fue reflejada de pasado, real funciona, pero distorsionan en un imaginativo reflejo de cmo el autor pens que habra percibidos y practicadas por la cultura avanzada, ficcin de la Nueva Atlntida. La teora ms supone que han sido creada bajo la influencia de y posiblemente creado por una persona del crculo de Francis Bacon cerca de contemporneos y su mundo. Estos incluyen Cornelis Drebbel, Michael Maier, Solomon De Caus, Johann Valentin Andreae, William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Simon Forman, Robert Fludd, entre otros.

de mi razonamiento que el manuscrito de Voynich contiene ptica. Si algunos tubos en el Voynich estn ptica, apunta a la posibilidad que el alquimista Rosacruz e inventor, Cornelis Drebbel, pueden ser el autor, o de alguna manera involucrados en su ' creacin. En 2006 escrib un artculo para Revista del renacimientotitulada:El manuscrito de Voynich: Drebbel perdida de Notebook?(Nmero #53, marzo de 2007).Esta teora

comenz cuando vi que ciertos objetos en el Voynich semejanza llamativa a principios de los microscopios. Si son microscopios, entonces el autor del Voynich habra sido muy familiarizado con esta tecnologa. Esto apunta a Drebbel, porque era la fabricacin y venta de microscopios de 1620 y probablemente antes y realmente convertido en al menos uno "con tres patas de bronce" (carta de Peiresc, 1632). Resulta que, tambin fue nombrado el jefe alquimista a corte de Rudolf II en el tiempo el Voynich aparece primero. En la corte, frot codos con Kepler, que escribi y public Dioptrice en 1610/11. Kepler describi microscopios en este trabajo. Adems, mirando a travs del Voynich y al estilo de Drebbel de ilustracin y arte, sentir hay similitudes convincentes.

Nueva Atlntida de Francis Bacon: Despus de trabajar en el proyecto

durante varios aos y un ao y medio despus de la publicacin del artculo de renacimiento, he llegu a sentir mucho menos que el Voynich representa un documento real. Es decir, no siento que representa todos los artculos verdaderos, procesos o lugares. Parece ser un manuscrito de la ficcin, en otras palabras. Como tal, yo no llamara un "porttil". Me vino a estas decisiones por muchas razones, pero fue conducido all sealando primero muy interesantes paralelismos entre la utopa de Francis Bacon, la Nueva Atlntida y muchas de las ilustraciones de las VMs. La Nueva Atlntida se inspir en parte en Cornelis Drebbel y sus inventos. Entre las inclusiones Drebbel relacionadas son microscopios, el reloj perpetuo, el submarino, fuentes automticos y ms. Pero el Voynich y la Nueva Atlntida, Adems de estos (algunos especulativos, como mi ptica), incluyen baos con desnudos, no identificables, injertadas plantas y animales no identificables y ms. Si uno deban construir un simulacro "Biblia de nueva Atlantis", o libro de Salomn que habra venido desde el Atantis nueva ficcin, no sera muy diferente a la Voynich. Pero como tal, esto ha abierto la posibilidad, dentro de la teora, a un crculo de influencia y menos a un autor determinado. Este crculo incluira Michael Maier, Robert Fludd, Francis Bacon, Drebbel, Simon Forman, Shakespeare, Solomon De Caus, Thomas Harriot, Andreae y otros. Todas estas personas estuvieron profundamente involucradas en una o varias de estas disciplinas: la utopa, cifrado y cdigos, lenguas artificiales y nativos americanos y caracteres, ptica, ficcin en arte y literatura, el nuevo mundo y la exploracin, el protestante causa en Europa, rosacruces, alquimia y ciencia. Eran muy conscientes de las obras de los dems, la mayora saba el resto personalmente. El ms aprendo sobre este crculo, ms sientan que debera sorprender si una obra como la Sra. Voynich sera algo alguien de este grupo podra o sera, crean... para el propsito que propongo. En cuanto a creacin, estoy mirando ms de cerca posible Drebbel, Maier y Fludd. H. Richard SantaColoma

El Voynich "Microscopios"
La importancia de estos objetos, si los microscopios, es grande. Nuestra actual comprensin de la fusin de la alquimia y ciencia y de las races del estudio de microscopa, se alterara.

La izquierda es un tubo de f88r del Voynich. A su lado es una imagen de computadora 3D que hice para recrear como un "objeto real". Para una textura us cuero marroqu de una imagen de un libro, que pareca cercano el patrn de la ilustracin de Voynich. Nota el color verde azulado/ilustrador eligi para la parte superior de este objeto.

Varios microscopios de los siglos XVII y XVIII. El dispositivo de izquierda inferior es microscopio de Galileo de circa-1610/14. Est cubierto en color vitela. La parte superior derecha tambin se atribuye a Galileo, 1609. El resto de dispositivos posfechan mi teora por 10 a 50 aos.

Primer plano de la tapa de la jarra/microscopio anterior. Tenga en cuenta las lneas de sombreado/que forma, apenas visibles en el rea de color azul-verde. Estos slo habra sido all para mostrar un "formar" a la superficie... no era plana, sino convexa... como una lente.

VMs artista utiliza este sombreado en otros lugares, como en este "guisante", para demostrar que forma. Dos "tubos" del Voynich. Continuamente me ha sorprendido que nadie haba pensado anteriormente pueden ser microscopios, parecen tan similares. Tenga en cuenta los centros empotrados de las cumbres. Se dibujan como lentes, aseguradas por anillos, sera. Y tienen dimetros diferentes, lo que implica tubos corredizos. Abajo se encuentra una representacin de los dos por encima de los tubos, recreados en CAD:

Soy duro presiona para ver una diferencia significativa en la estructura de los microscopios anterior del siglo XVIII, y el Voynich tarros a la izquierda. Esta imagen es de un libro ptico espaol del siglo XVIII, que estoy en el proceso de localizar para mejores imgenes y descripciones completas. Hasta ahora, no puedo encontrar

frascos de hierbas que parecen estas VMs "jarras". Mayora de hierba y envases farmacuticos de los siglos XIV a travs de los siglos XVII, si bien elaborados, adquieren una forma diferente. Por un lado, ellos generalmente han curvado lados, bases o superior, en lugar de los lados del can recto de los dibujos de VMS "pticos". Sin embargo, hay otros objetos en las VMs que gusta como tarros, u otra cosa. Por ejemplo, frascos de perfume egipcio son parezca para muchos dibujos de VMs "curvas". Pero para la parte superior empotrada, cara recta, mltiples dimetro tubo/barril VMs objetos, los dispositivos pticos son un partido mucho mejor.

Un microscopio del siglo XVII del Este tubo de f102r, se muestra en una pgina adicional de 14 tubos de Voynich que parecen muy Museo de la ciencia, Italia. Comparar con el tubo de f102r que se muestra ptico: Haga clic aqu para ver la pgina. a la izquierda. Ambos estn hechos de dos dimetros, con tapas de empotrado, mltiples "anillos" en la parte superior e inferior y elementos decorativos en las secciones de verdes. No es una coincidencia exacta, pero las similitudes son innegables. Cada observador debe preguntar: es las VMs dibujo el microscopio se muestra ms cerca o ms cercanas a un tarro, vela o algo ms? En el grabado anteriormente, vemos la misma forma como este dispositivo... y ambos son microscopios. En el dispositivo real, vemos cmo a menudo eran decoradas y coloreadas. Y el grabado y el elemento real coincide estrechamente con las VMs dibujo.

Las tapas de estos frascos no al principio parecen muy similar al microscopio. Pero Magny, comparar las tapas a los Magny ' alcance a la 1740 derecha. Ahora voy a suponer la tapa en Magny que una cubierta protectora, teniendo en cuenta la evidencia de la corte a la forma en el mbito ms abajo.

Este microscopio es de un libro de principios de siglo XVIII por Joblot. Comparar a las "jarras", arriba. la manera de cortar ahora explica la razn para las tapas de estos microscopios... eran un accesorio protector. Tambin comparar el nudo de este dispositivo y la forma general general de ambos "frascos" arriba.

Nuremberg, siglo XVIII. Tenga en cuenta la tapa y la vitela verde y rojo que cubre con herramientas dorado decorativo. A continuacin, un italiano del siglo XVII modelo:

Un primer plano de lo que podra ser nudo en el tubo de f88r. Compare esto con el nudo en el Joblot ' ejemplos alcance por encima y los siglos XVIII y XIX, a la derecha. Nudo se utiliza para obtener un agarre sobre las distintas secciones para el ajuste y desmontaje. En microscopios, los ms complejos utilizan nudo y los dispositivos ms simples de (dos tubo deslizante) a menudo no lo hacen. En las VMs, los tubos ms elaborados a menudo tienen estas lneas y no los ms simples.

Dioptrice de Kepler, 1611

En 1611, mientras que en la corte de Rudolf II, Kepler public su libro sobre teora ptica, Dioptrice. En el libro describe las lentes cncavas y convexas y cmo funcionan y cmo funcionan en combinaciones en telescopios y microscopios. Hay muchos esquemas como el a la izquierda de la pgina 44. Aqu le damos una cita de la pgina web del Museo Mccord , "en 1611, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) sugiri la construccin de un microscopio compuesto que utiliza lentes convexas para el objetivo y el ocular. El microscopio de Kepler proporciona un mayor campo de visin y se convirti en el prototipo del microscopio moderno." Esta fue la primera confirmacin de que pude encontrar que hubo microscopios en el Tribunal de Rudolf. No slo microscopios, pero la experimentacin de la microscopa, que reflejan las consecuencias de la variedad de tubos de VMs. Drebbel fue en el Tribunal de Rudolf, junto a Kepler, al mismo tiempo. Quin hizo estos lentes y microscopios para Kepler? Drebbel fue una amoladora experimentado lente y fabricante de vidrio del lente y experimentador en el momento que ingres a la corte. Ilgico que Kepler habra ignorado este hecho mientras trabaja para Dioptrice y los dispositivos incluidos. Tambin, Drebbel es conocido por ser el primero en construir uno

con lentes convexas doble (los Janssen anterior tena una convexa y una cncava). Kepler es la primera persona en describir un microscopio con lentes convexas doble, en Dioptrice, en 1611, mientras Drebbel trabajaba en el mismo lugar. Entonces Drebbel entra en la corte, con Kepler, fabricacin de lentes y deja que afirman ser capaces de hacer telescopios, y hacer microscopios del tipo Kepler describi. Edific ninguno mientras que en la corte? Adems, piensas que nadie pensaba utilizar estos microscopios, ni grabar sus resultados... en algn lugar? Curiosamente, ste es el diseo ptico slo que he encontrado de que coincide con la "cintura" de la jarra de f88r. Las proporciones son diferentes, pero no por mucho, y las lentes de pgina 44 coinciden con los cambios de dimetro y el "moleteada", de la jarra. Haga clic aqu.

Kepler tambin posea un telescopio sobre 1610-1611, y su diseo era dispositivo "basada en la de Galileo". A la izquierda es una porcin de una exacta rplica moderna del telescopio de Galileo. El telescopio todo es mucho ms largo, esto es slo uno de los extremos. Puedes ver la rplica, hecha por Jim & Rhoda Morris y cmo se cre, en este excelente sitio. No sabemos lo que telescopio de Kepler realmente pareca ser. Pero el punto es que en el perodo, as es como un dispositivo ptico fue imaginado y creado. No es un salto a imaginar que haba un instrumento ptico, en la corte, que pareca mucho la versin de Galileo a la izquierda. Tenga en cuenta los colores, herramientas, diferentes dimetros y comprelo con los tubos de VMs. Las VMs contiene lo que muchos han credo para ser estrellas observaciones y posiblemente incluso constelaciones. De hecho a menudo se ha sugerido que el autor de las VMs pudo haber tenido por lo menos acceso a un telescopio. Drebbel rog a James I, en 1612, dejarlo regresar a Londres. Profes ser capaces de construir un telescopio capaz de "leer una carta a una milla del pas". Dnde aprendi a hacer esto?

Otras conexiones pticas:

Este microscopio tiene similitudes con los tubos de Voynich? Se trata de un microscopio de Kircher de 1658. Kircher hizo el primer informe de ver los microorganismos con el microscopio, que se hizo.

Kircher tambin acumul una vasta coleccin de cientficos y equipo de alchemal y literatura. Construy muchas fuentes, relojes, instrumentos musicales y automatia. Muchos de estos dispositivos, incluyendo su diseo para el microscopio, parecen ser influenciado por los inventos de Cornelis Drebbel. Muchos dispositivos fueron accionados por los mismo principios neumticos e hidrulicos que Drebbel utilizado. Se cree por algunos que Kircher "endeudado" profundamente de la historia de Drebbel. Hay incluso un termoscopio Drebbel representado en un grabado del Museo de Kircher. Coincidentemente, Kircher era una esperanza temprano para desencriptar el Voynich. Tan pronto como 1639 fue provisto con copias del texto del manuscrito. Ms tarde recibi pginas y por 1665, al parecer, recibi toda la obra. No se sabe si Kircher avances en su intento de romper los secretos de la Voynich... pero el hecho de que l tena un derramamiento tan fuerte de las tecnologas de "Drebbelesque" lleva nota. Podran ser y el hecho de que algunos han pensado los avistamientos primeros reales de vida microscpica en el Voynich, y los primeros avistamientos conocidos de vida microscpica, fue otra vez, Kircher, en 1658.

Y otra vez, este microscopio tiene similitudes con tubos de Voynich? Al microscopio de Kircher, encima? Se trata de instrumento famoso de Hooke, que utiliza para examinar los insectos, las clulas del corcho y todo eso. Public sus hallazgos en Micrographia, en el 1660's. Hay una conexin de Drebbel aqu, tambin, en eso Hooke tena una asociacin permanente con hija de Drebbel durante varios aos. No es conocido de que todos Hooke obtenida de esta asociacin, pero teniendo en cuenta Drebbel fue un pionero del microscopio, y que Hooke fue otro, se considera probable que microscopa fue uno de los temas que han trascendido. En la biografa de 1932 de Tierie de Drebbel, "Si examinamos microscopio de Hooke encontramos que muestra una fuerte da a de Drebbel...", y ".. .esta parecido... no debe ser preguntado en cuando recordamos que Hooke ntimamente era familiarizarse con el Kuffler [de de Drebbel yerno] y tambin con la hija de Drebbel". Aqu que tenemos dos Voynich-tubo-como microscopios, los fabricantes de las cuales estn conectados a Drebbel y uno incluso a la Voynich s mismo.

Imgenes microscpicas de Voynich?

A la izquierda es una de muchas plantas no identificadas en el Voynich. En los aos otros han conjeturado que algunos de stos pueden ser ilustraciones de fauna y flora microscpica. Algunos parecen clulas, venas, hongos, moho, clulas y diatomeas. Esta teora explicara dos cosas: si no se ven bien como deben, podramos perdonar esto que los primeros microscopios haya sido incapaces del detalle posible dcadas ms tarde. Y luego el segundo... el hecho de que estas plantas se han mantenido sin identificar... por qu hara alguien dibujar plantas "falsas"? Es ms probable que dibujaban las mejores, pero inexactas, representaciones de lo que realmente vieron. .

"Rueda" o crculo del Voynich. Estas ruedas han Diatomea de siglo XIX "el microscopio y su sido comparadas con muchos crculos de textos Revealations" de William B. Carpenter. El

nombre cientfico de esta diatomea es Arachnoidiscus Japonicus (XII de la placa, despus pgina 526). Tenga en cuenta estas caractersticas, comparando los dos: las suplentes paredes gruesas y finas, los rayos formando un patrn de estrella en el "centro y los extremos redondeados a las clulas frente a las"pastillas"en el Voynich.

O whimisically decrorate ellos, en una inferencia imaginativa, pero cientfico, para comparar el mundo micro al macro? O es simplemente un mapa? Ver las conexiones de la Nueva Atlntida, abajo.

La Nueva Atlntida

Francis Bacon escribi Nueva Atlntida en algn momento entre 1610 y la creciente temprano, pero fue publicado por primera vez despus de su muerte en 1626. Bacon utiliza el modelo de su isla ficticia de Bensalem como resonancia por sus ideas sobre poltica, ciencia, sociedad y religin. En esta utopa, la ciencia fue fundamental para el avance de la sociedad en su conjunto. Inventos e inventores eran aclamados por el pueblo y alentados por el gobierno. Se ha observado durante mucho tiempo que muchos de los inventos citados en la Nueva Atlntida fueron probablemente basada en inventos y dispositivos de Cornelis Drebbel. Entre ellos estn el submarino, el microscopio y un tipo de reloj "perpetuo". Esto no es demasiado sorprendente, como Drebbel y tocino compartido habitaciones del Palacio de Eltham... tenan contacto uno con el otro, y Bacon tena una fascinacin con nuevos inventos y descubrimientos. Bacon realmente coment sobre el trabajo de Drebbel y en la frustracin de una instancia expres en su confianza en el "efecto mgico" de su Perpetuo reloj, cuando hubiera preferido y cientfico abierto discurso sobre su mtodo de operacin. En la lectura de la Nueva Atlntida, yo no slo sorprendi por la inclusin previamente conocida (por otros) de dispositivos de Drebbelesque, sino tambin por algunas semejanzas llamativas al manuscrito Voynich. Lo que significa no sabe, por supuesto y slo se puede especular. Pero quizs hubo algn intercambio de ideas en la Nueva Atlntida con el autor del Voynich... tal vez con Drebbel. Tal vez el Voynich influenciado de alguna manera utopa de Bacon, o viceversa. Tal vez fue creado como algn tipo de artefacto de compaero de la Nueva Atlntida, o convencer a alguien que la ficcin Bensalem realmente existi. Aunque esto es pura especulacin, no creo que cualquier documento que no sea la Nueva Atlntida, tiene muchas similitudes con el Voynich. A continuacin se muestran algunas imgenes de las VMs, junto con el texto de la Nueva Atlntida. Y aqu est un copia completa de la Nueva Atlntida. Para tener una visin general de mis teoras, explicando ms sobre ellos, haga clic aqu.H.R. SantaColoma

Las Nueva Atlntida/Voynich similitudes:

"He ledo en un libro de uno de sus hombres, de una Commonwealth fingida, donde se permiten los pares casados, antes de que contraen, ver una otro desnudo. Esto que les disgusta; para ellos parece un desprecio para dar un negativa despus de conocimiento tan familiar: sino por muchos ocultos defectos en los hombres y las mujeres, [los Atlantes nueva] tienen una va ms civil; paratienen cerca de cada ciudad un par de piscinas, (que ellos llaman Adn y Piscinas de Eva), donde se permite a uno de los amigos de los hombres, y otro de los amigos de la mujer, verles solidariamente baarse desnudo." -Francis Bacon, Nueva Atlntida

El Voynich tiene muchos baos y piscinas, llenos de mujeres desnudas, que hasta ahora han permanecido enigmticas. Adems de las piscinas de "Adn y Eva", Bacon describe curativos baos con agua tinctured, utilizado para prolongar la vida y curar la enfermedad. A menudo se sugiere que las piscinas de la Voynich pueden representar la sanacin o baos para dar a luz. "En stos practicamos adems todas las conclusiones de injertoe inocular, as de salvaje-rboles frutales, que produceth muchos efectos. Y hacemos (de arte) en el mismos huertos y jardines, rboles y flores para venir antes o despus que sus estaciones; y para venir para arriba y llevar ms rpidamente que por su curso natural lo hacen. Hacemos tambin por arte mayor gran parte de su naturaleza; y su fruto ms y ms dulce y de sabor diferente, olor, color y figura, de su naturaleza. "Y muchos de ellos as que pedimos, como llegan a ser de uso medicinal". "Tenemos escripto o tiendas de medicamentos. En donde fcilmente considere, si tenemos tal variedad de plantas y criaturas vivientes ms de lo que tenemos en Europa, (porque sabemos lo que tiene) el simples, las drogas y los ingredientes de los medicamentos, debe adems ser en tanto la mayor variedad."
"We have also means to make divers plants rise by mixtures of earths without seeds; and likewise to make divers new plants, differing from the vulgar; and to make one tree or plant turn into another." -Francis Bacon, New Atlantis

Most of the plants in the Voynich have remained unidentified. Many also show signs of grafting, having points on the roots and limbs where their diameters suddenly change. As for orchards, f85v, panel 2, shows what appears to be three people picking fruit or vegatables, and wheat. Here are two of them:

On animals, "...Also we make them differ in colour, shape,activity,many ways. We find means to make commixtures and copulations of different kinds; which have produced many new kinds..." In the Voynich, the animals have been a mystery.

They are for the most part, unidentifiable. By comparison, the animals in New Atlantis would be unidentifiable, as they are of "many new kinds". However I have been moving toward the idea the the lower right creature may be an Armadillo.

"Tenemos tambin ayudas para la vista, muy por encima de los anteojos y gafas en uso. Tambin tenemos gafas y medios a ver cuerpos pequeos y minutos perfectamente y claramente; como las formas y los colores de pequeas moscas y gusanos, granos y defectos en gemas, que de lo contrario no se puede ver; observaciones en orina y sangre, no ser visto."-Francis Bacon, Nueva Atlantis Vea la parte ptica de esta teora, que hace comparaciones entre muchos de los tubos en el Voynich con primeros Microscopios y telescopios.

Esta imagen de la parte inferior de f79r muestra lo que parece ser un hombre flotante, con un brazo enganchado alrededor de la una clavija a travs de un tubo... flotantes. Otro pitn, visto sumergido, pasando tambin por el tubo grande. De la Nueva Atlntida, "tenemos barcos y embarcaciones para ir bajo el agua y brooking de mares, tambin cinturones de natacin y partidarios..."

f85v-1 podra decirse que representa una fuente de algn tipo. los remolinos de centro azul podran ser agua, especialmente desde la 4 tubos o caminos irradiando desde el extremo del centro con una evidente "escupe" o "rociar" efecto. Solo es importante para la Nueva Atlntida, ya est escrito, "Contamos tambin con un nmero de pozos artificiales y fuentes, hecho en la imitacin de las fuentes naturales y baos..." Pero el significado de esto va ms all, porque Bacon escriba de las invenciones de Drebbel y DeCaus cuando habl de fuentes artificiales. stos estaban impulsados por el calor del sol en una cmara, causando una extensin de un volumen atrapado de aire, que forz el agua por los tubos, para rociar como una fuente. Fuentes solares. Y esta ilustracin muestra un sol en el centro. As no slo demuestra lo que es concebible una fuente artificial, pero posiblemente un Drebbelesque uno en eso. Kircher, haba

construido tambin, y yo slo puedo preguntarse lo que pensaba, al ver esta pgina. Y l vio, segn todos los indicios. Qu tienen las personas? No s. Originalmente estaba frente a ellos como smbolos de la Rosacruz... pero no veo nada tan cerca... excepto, tal vez para ste, que es un poco como una flor de lis RC. ste es un poco como un orbe con una tapa (ambos instrumentos de medida?) y esta mujer es insertar o quitar lo que parece guirnaldas en o fuera de la cmara de agua. Una nueva Atlante, en escritos entregados a ellos por milagro: "hubo tambin en ambas de estas escrituras, as como el libro, como la carta, forjado un gran milagro, se ajusta a la de los apstoles, en el don de lenguas originales. Para all ser en aquel tiempo en esta tierra hebreos, persas y los indios, adems de los nativos, cada uno lee en el libro y la letra, como si haba sido escritos en su propio idioma."-Francis Bacon, Nueva Atlntida El "Don de lenguas", o "glosolalia", est hablando de una lengua ininteligible, que se supone que la lengua de los ngeles. En el contexto F.Bacon utiliza, el lenguaje es comprensible por cualquier persona que habla cualquier idioma. En el libro de Kennedy/Churchill sobre las VMs, se seala que "algunos investigadores" en los VMs han credo que el texto puede reflejar la glosolalia. Pero la descripcin de Bacon interpretadas a menudo como un ejemplo de su forma de lenguaje universal, o como l lo llam, "Alfabeto de la naturaleza". Un maravilloso papel por Robert Batchelor de Stanford explica el inters de Bacon y la intencin en este lenguaje, y seala cmo Descartes pareci slo funcionara en un mundo de fantasa como Nueva Atlntida. El artculo se puede encontrar aqu. La seccin II, "De cifrado a cdigo", se refiere a Bacon. Esto es tambin de inters, como el conocido investigador de Voynich, Friedman, sospechada de las VMs fue escrito en un lenguaje universal. "Tena de l un vestido con mangas anchas, de una especie de chamolet de agua, de excelente color azul, brillante ms justa que la nuestra; su bajo la ropa era verde; y as era su sombrero en forma de un turbante, delicadamente hecha y no tan grande como los turbantes turcos; y descendieron los mechones de su cabello por debajo de los bordes de la misma."-Nueva Atlantis No una coincidencia exacta... pero la mujer a la derecha tiene un vestido azul con mangas anchas. Y ella parece reunir al hombre a la izquierda, que tiene un garb de renacimiento ms tradicional... y un sombrero verde, con el pelo bajando por debajo del borde. El punto es la Nueva Atlntida, que fue escrito en algn momento entre 1610 y 1624, tiene ropa mencion que est cerca de la ropa que se muestra en el Voynich.

"We have high towers; the highest about half a mile in height; and some of them likewise set upon high mountains; so that the vantage of the hill with the tower is in the highest of them three miles at least. And these places we call the Upper Region; accounting the air between the high places and the low, as a Middle Region. We use these

towers, according to their several heights, and situations, for insolation, refrigeration, conservation; and for the view of divers meteors; as winds, rain, snow, hail; and some of the fiery meteors also." In the Voynich, the rosettes page's upper center rosette seems to be a "height" (see below). In the center of the star pattern is what seems to be a tower, shown at left. It actually faces downward on the page, I've rotated it 180 degrees. I don't feel this is too improper, as the buildings on the rosettes page(s) are facing in all different directions... there is no set "projection" for this scene.

"...these towers, according to their several heights, and situations..." Well here is certainly an odd "situation"... a tower, in a hole. Above it, another hole. Now this, from New Atlantis, "We have large and deep caves of several depths: the deepest are sunk six hundred fathom: and some of them are digged and made under great hills and mountains..." This image is from the rosettes page, and is the "west side" of the central upper rosette, from which I cropped the tower in the image above. If you look at the sides of this image, you can clearly see the intention was to show a great height. Click on the image for a large view. Click here to see the "east" side of the central rosette, which similarly implies a great height. I find it fascinating that in New Atlantis you have descriptions of these observation towers of great height, on mountains, and of deep caves... and in the the Voynich there is this seemingly fantastical, and unidentifiable (so far), arrangement of towers and mountains.

Se trata de la esquina superior derecha de la pgina de la roseta de la Voynich. el crculo con la "T" en la ms se asemeje a un mapa de T/O, lo que represent, en la poca medieval, el mundo conocido. La parte superior ante este y el Asia. La parte inferior izquierda era Europa y la parte inferior derecha, frica. La "T" fue el mar Mediterrneo. En esta imagen, puedes ver los caminos que conecta las partes de Europa y Asia correspondientes del mapa T/O (posible), con la roseta derecha superior. Si este es un mapa de T/O, y el resto de la pgina de rosetas es tambin un mapa (como bien puede ser, ya que tiene edificios y caminos en l), entonces la intencin del artista podra decirse que puede interpretarse como una muestra de un lugar fuera de Europa, Asia y frica. De nueva Atlantis:
"When the king had forbidden to all his people navigation into any part that was not under his crown, he made nevertheless this ordinance; that every twelve years there should be set forth, out of this kingdom two ships, appointed to several voyages; That in either of these ships there should be a mission of three of the Fellows or Brethren of Salomon's House; whose errand was only to give us knowledge of the affairs and state of those countries to which they were designed, and especially of the sciences, arts, manufactures, and inventions

of all the world; and withal to bring unto us books, instruments, and patterns in every kind..." And: "For the several employments and offices of our fellows; we have twelve that sail into foreign countries, under the names of other nations, (for our own we conceal); who bring us the books, and abstracts, and patterns of experiments of all other parts. These we call Merchants of Light."

From New Atlantis: "Only this I must tell you, that none of you must go above a karan,' (that is with them a mile and an half) 'from the walls of the city, without especial leave." This statement refers to Renfusa. The two important points are that it is walled, and that it is the first city the sailors visit. The rosettes page from the Voynich shows what can be interpreted as a walled city in the upper right. It seems to be connected with a "path" to the T/O map shown above. As it turns out, it is not unheard of to find utopias illustrated in literature. In fact it was quite common. I've put together this page listing several of them. Many of these illustrations are from, or close, to the time frame this and the Voynich/Drebbel theory speculate the Voynich was actually created.
