Title: Poems from a Very Long Prayerbook (Trademark). Image: a tab and some sketchy 16th c script, a bit of a complicated spreadsheet, and "Limerick, Cinquain, Tanka, and Garden" as the take-away.

What happens when you spend too long cataloging lines, rubrics, crosses, and prayer structures in a 16th-century prayerbook? Apparently I default to poetry. Send help.

#Voynich #ManuscriptStudies #Cryptology

Scholars working in #manuscriptstudies, I need some help with an annotation. Is the one faded a cryptographic? Any suggestions? The annotation is on the verso leaf of the last flyleaf of a mid-14th C codex (an exemplar of William of Ockham’s Expositio in libros Physicorum copied by an Italian hand)
