| Voynich MS - Quire 14 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
DescriptionQuire 14 contains one sheet of a non-standard size. It is the only sheet which has a horizontal foldout crease. Beside that it also has two vertical creases, so each side of the vellum is divided into 6 panels: 3 above the horizontal crease and 3 below. Each panel has the same size as a normal 'page'. The sheet has been bound into the MS at the vertical folding crease in the lower half of the sheet, leaving one panel to the left of the binding and two to the right. By convention, the part left of the bind is called f85 and the part to the right is called f86. When the sheet is folded out, a single, complicated drawing is visible, which covers six panels and is usually referred to as the Rosettes page. The numbering of the 6 pages occupied by this drawing is indicated here ((b) indicating the binding):

On the opposite
side (which one cannot actually see complete on one unfolding, because the rest

The gathering mark is on f86v3.
