Joannes Richter Updating the overview for my studies towards the fundamental wave of human activities I decided to convert the old database1 to a new manuscript (Bipolar Monotheism) in which the layout has been increased from DIN-A5 to DIN-A4, allowing me to increase all photographs to a respectable size. Superfluous information and references to sources were banned to the footnote area, which cleared the pages from debris for a minimal amount of information. Checking the text for obsolete issues I noticed contradicting topics which had been caused by inserting new text between old chapters. The work really needed some rework. While doing this job I noticed a strange effect in identifying details. The enlarged photographs offered me a great advantage in discovering new details, which had been hidden in the previous versions of my manuscripts. Enlarging illustrations really is advantageous! I discovered the Adam's Apple in a Janus Coin allowing me to interpret the androgynous symbolism in the Janus' coin. In the Rosarium Philosophorum two water sources have been identified. I added a note to the symbolism of the yellow garment of the tax-payer in Masaccio's painting The Tribute Money. In order to check the symbolism of the kingfishers in Bosch's Garden of Delight I checked the overview kingfisher images, and (apart from the regular blue & orange birds) I identified many green & orange combinations but I never found any combinations of three colors (blue, green and orange). I also tried to solve some of the enigmatic problems of the Voynich manuscript, described as "the world's most mysterious manuscript". As remarkable illustrations I detected two enlarged V-images at the pdf-page 3 (numbered 2 in the Voynich manuscript), which might be considered as capitalized or royal symbols. Additionally at pdf-page 65 (numbered page 33) of the Voynich manuscript I identified human faces in the plants' roots, which probably are only detectable in a good copy of the manuscript. At the bottom of the in the Voynich manuscript at pdf-page 6 we may also identify many faces in the bottom line, representing the soil, in which the plant is growing. These identification of human faces in the plants' roots and soil definitely prove that the manuscript is not a standard herbal handbook. The faces may be stored in the soil and move to the roots, from where they are transported to the flowers. At pdf-page 28 of the Voynich manuscript at we may also identify similar faces in the flowers, symbolized by three dots for the eyed and a nose. Therefore we may expect the plants to extract human faces from the soil to bring them to the flowers. I am not convinced whether this story is a creation legend. At pdf-page 114 the manuscript suddenly switches from herbal descriptions to astrological or astronomical charts. I am still searching for key to solve this problem... The rest of the details2 have been documented in this paper, which merely is an additional working sketch for Bipolar Monotheism and Red and Blue in the Voynich-Manuscript.
Fig. 2: Trunks with water sources in Rosarium Philosophorum, Prague (1578) In the web I tried to find some similar illustrations to Rosarium Philosophorum. None of these images however showed more details where the water was flowing to. The image seemed to have been cut off at the sides, leaving the question unanswered...

Fig. 6: Flowers in Red & Blue in the Voynich manuscript (1420) Now it would be interesting to check whether the manuscript did contain any cartouches or royal, capitalized names which might enable us to decipher the encrypted text. I loaded the complete pdf-version of the Voynich manuscript, but merely analyzed the herbal illustrations and the text's structure. There were too much details to copy in the astronomical pages and the abundantly illustrations of human corpses. As remarkable illustrations I detected two enlarged V-images at the pdf-page 3 (numbered 2 in the Voynich manuscript), which might be considered as capitalized or royal symbols (see appendix 2). At the bottom of the in the Voynich manuscript at pdf-page 6 we may identify many faces in the bottom line, representing the soil, in which the plant is growing. Each of these faces is marked by three dots as may be observed in the detailed illustration. At pdf-page 28 of the Voynich manuscript at we may also identify similar faces in the flowers, symbolized by three dots for the eyed and a nose. At pdf-page 50 of the Voynich manuscript at we may identify an unidentifiable animal eating or sucking from the leaves. At pdf-page 65 (numbered page 33) of the Voynich manuscript at the bottom we may identify human faces in the plants' roots. The uncolored faces are only detectable in a good copy of the manuscript.
It is this last identification of human faces in the plants' roots that definitely proves that the manuscript is not a normal herbal handbook.
I retouched the page labeled 2 with both Vs and considered both Vs the only real capitals of the document. The first V might be a vessel, from which in the second V a substance may be rising or into which a substance might be dropped. The curl however more or less suggests a rising substance like smoke or odor. Still these images may be interpreted as characters or even illuminated capitals. There is however no real interpretation to easily be found.
Fig. 10: many faces in the bottom line of the #6 of the Voynich manuscript
These faces for which the gender cannot be identified, clearly identify the manuscript as an nonherbal book.
Fig. 17: human corpse at the bottom of the page At pdf-page 208 (of a total of 209 scans) of the Voynich manuscript at we may identify a note dated III/2 1967 and signed HH.
