The bottom line is interrupted by the # diagram. # # The diagram is framed by a large ring of 23 unlabeled stars. The # ring is divided into two arcs with 11 stars on the left, 12 on the # right. # # The starry ring is filled with 36 stars of various sizes, all bigger # than the border stars, randomly placed. Of them, 24 (perhaps 25) # have a label (unit µ{S}). # # At the top, within the large circle, is a smaller circle with a # human face and moon-like shadow in the middle, and a ring of # Voynich text around the circumference (unit µ{U}). The moon has a human face # with neutral expression. # # At the bottom, within the large circle, is a smaller circle with a # sun in the middle and a ring of Voynich text around the # circumference (unit µ{L}). The sun has a human face, with some hair # over the temple. # # Rene [04 Apr 1999] observes that the page is marked "b" with # pencil on the upper left corner[???]. # # Comments: # # The two medallions presumably represent the Sun and Moon. Compare # this diagram with the previous one (f68r1), which is visible at # the left when the foldout is open. # # References: # # # Last edited on 1999-04-20 02:20:08 by stolfi
