Captain’s Blog: 3/1/2022
If you are new to my blog and my research the Voynich Manuscript is a 1430’s Scottish Royal document containing world maps of ocean and rivers currents. Each folio in the Voynich is a self contained map but connected to the maps around it using a suveyors technique mete’s and bounds.
Folio 16v is located in the Southern most point of Brazil bordering Uruguay. The location of the outer axle of the Southern Circumpolar Vortex. To make calculations in this region they where using various math equations. Before you read the translation there are a few things you need to know.
Folio 16v Line 1, Word 5-6: r puegla, word for word, the radius of a small hill
Meaning: rectification of a curve. “Arc length is the distance between two points along a section of a curve. Determining the length of an irregular arc segment is also called rectification of a curve. The advent of infinitesimal calculus led to a general formula that provides closed-form solutions in some cases.” wikipedia.
“For much of the history of mathematics, even the greatest thinkers considered it impossible to compute the length of an irregular arc. Although Archimedes had pioneered a way of finding the area beneath a curve with his “method of exhaustion”, few believed it was even possible for curves to have definite lengths, as do straight lines. The first ground was broken in this field, as it often has been in calculus, by approximation. People began to inscribe polygons within the curves and compute the length of the sides for a somewhat accurate measurement of the length. By using more segments, and by decreasing the length of each segment, they were able to obtain a more and more accurate approximation. In particular, by inscribing a polygon of many sides in a circle, they were able to find approximate values of π.” wikipedia
Folio 16v Line 2, Word 3: tauetua, word for word, (mathematics, neologism) Chiefly written τ: an irrational and transcendental constant representing the ratio of the circumference of a Euclidean circle to its radius, equal to twice the value of pi (2π; approximately 6.2831853071).
Folio 16v Line 11, Word 1-3:
– etalom utua rom, (η) atmospheric vorticity-closed outer-axle area
Today in science we would call this the “Southern Circumpolar Vortex’ Outer Axle.” The Antarctic vortex of the Southern Hemisphere is a single low-pressure zone that is found near the edge of the Ross ice shelf, near 160 west longitude. When the polar vortex is strong, the mid-latitude Westerlies (winds at the surface level between 30° and 60° latitude from the west) increase in strength and are persistent. When the polar vortex is weak, high-pressure zones of the mid-latitudes may push poleward, moving the polar vortex, jet stream, and polar front equatorward. The jet stream is seen to “buckle” and deviate south. This rapidly brings cold dry air into contact with the warm, moist air of the mid-latitudes, resulting in a rapid and dramatic change of weather known as a “cold snap”.
Folio 16r: Brazilian Current at Tropic of Cancer
DATA:
Location: Tropic of Cancer, Brazil
Geolocation: 23 1/2°S/35°0’W approximation
Math: arctan(x/y) =λ, rotation of Earth to get coordinates
Ocean Currents/Gyre: Brazilian Current
Ethnobotany: Handroanthus impetiginosus, Golden Trumpet Tree, National flower of Brazil.
English Translation: 16r
Creating the entrance established squeezed out the withdrawal measurement secant arc. The wind canal (a)horizontal distance descending towards is unusual. Look carefully, the lines in the water consume besides the water. Crown the neck and align the axis connected to the new way. The water travels toward marshy λ=arctan(x/y).
Zones sounding off
Tempting wind slopes and develops a lacking strength. The bearing point omits out, fills up the air and soots the natural state resting measurement. It synchronously fills up the streets space, watch, gets in the space all around.
The knowledge of the masons grid: sounding points support (a) / guide-point horizontal distance ejects having advanced it gets concealed. The new way rests descending towards and jumps. The declared flows there are loads. Clocks then follows the way.

Folio 16v: Cape Horn
DATA:
Location: Cape Horn and Falkland Islands
Geolocation: 51°33’S/59°14’W
Math:
- τ: an irrational and transcendental constant representing the ratio of the circumference of a Euclidean circle to its radius, equal to twice the value of pi.
- rectification of a curve.
Ocean Currents/Gyre: Falkland Current
English Translation:
Exceedingly, Boatswain, high-time upper pass through the rectification of a curve, the allower goes the ratio of a circumference (2π; approximately 6.2831853071), the instrument set is accurate, it implements the secant arc. Woe, you must stop the specters, it will want to behave by joining at the forefront above the wheel grids (a) length descending, journey winds time the arc length descending remove the following outward it approaches and takes advantage of the time zone.The stations low whistling sound away from the point dammer stupefies the sequence measurement of time. It goes, measure the forefront barrier of wind, marks, the sudden forward motion in the direction. I am hoping it yields time, wind is fixed. Arc length risky, it gates over and carries out, out it will be going arranged to the final resting position. Southern Circumpolar Vortex outer axle (word for word: the Circumpolar Vortex’ outer-axle space): measure that’s going, having ventured you will calculate the waveringly forward.
