Voynich Manuscript - High Resolution Scans (Unknown) - Page 7

⚠The text below is written in the undeciphered Voynich script. Because the language remains unknown, the text is presented using the European Voynich Alphabet (EVA) transcription. This system uses Latin characters to represent the manuscript's unique symbols. The left side of this page shows significant green "bleed-through" from the illustration on the reverse side (folio 3v).

This first block of text is positioned at the top of the page, above the plant's large, feathered head. The repetitive nature of words like "oror" and "ctor" is a defining characteristic of "Voynichese" syntax.

This smaller paragraph is situated to the left of the plant's upper stem. Some of the ink here is faded or obscured by the green pigment bleeding through the parchment.

marginal: These two short words are written in the left margin, halfway down the page.

This paragraph sits to the left of the lower stem, just above the root system.

marginal: Another brief set of notes located near the base of the plant.

The final paragraph spans the bottom of the page, beneath the spreading roots.

Illustration Analysis

The illustration on this page depicts a surreal botanical specimen that does not clearly correspond to any known Earthly plant.

The Plume: The top of the plant features a large, fan-like or multi-lobed head. It is decorated with alternating stripes of green and red, accented with small white dots. This "feathered" appearance is unique among the plants in the herbal section.
The Stem: A single, slender green stem descends from the plume, curving slightly to the left.
The Roots: The plant terminates in a complex, spreading brown root system. The roots are fibrous and branch out horizontally, suggesting a plant that might grow in shallow soil or a specific environment described in the surrounding text.
