Voynich Manuscript: was the author left-handed?
Figure 1 Back to ArticleI noticed that the cosmological drawings of the sun, moon and stars in folios 67v1 and 68r2 were very similar to carvings of the sun and the moon and stars on a very fine Afro-Portuguese ivory horn No.101. The horn was decorated with other European motifs, including the arms of the House of Aviz. This indicated that the horn was intended for King Emanuel I of Portugal and was carved some time during his reign(1495-1521), i.e. around the beginning of the 16th century.
