Meta-data for J. VS  Library deposit:

# 8-1-2007-09-14


This deposit contains, in addition to this meta-data text-file, four image 
files:

1x292rAPUG563.jpg
2x292rAPUG563.jpg
3x292rAPUG563.jpg
4x292rAPUG563.jpg


These images show the "word" that possibly is written in Voynich-alphabet 
letters, this word appearing in a 1664 letter from Athanasius Kircher, S.J., 
to Adamus Schall, S.J. - the first details on this are found in a thread to 
the old vms-list:

The source image for the above four images, APUG 563 292r, was obtained on

downloaded and converted to .bmp format by MS Internet Explorer 6.0.

All image processing was done with IrfanView version 3.99 and resultant 
images saved in .jpg default format:

approximately in the middle.

writing parities.
