The Voynich Manuscript as

a Manual for the Habsburgs

Fig. 1 Symbolic device, applied by the Habsburg emperors,

created by Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor (public domain)

A.E.I.O.U. (sometimes A.E.I.O.V.) was a symbolic device

coined by Emperor Frederick III (1415–1493)

Abstract
Around 1437 Frederick III (1415–1493) may have designed a symbolic device ‘En, Amor Electis,
Iniustis Ordinor Ultor; Sic Fridericus ego mea iura rego’ with the letters A.E.I.O.U. (sometimes
A.E.I.O.V.)1. The device is historically used as a motto by the Habsburgs. The AEIOU-device may
have played a role in the expansion of the House of Habsburg to the northeast.
The manufacture of the vellum for the Voynich Manuscript is dated at the early 15th century (1404–
1438), in which the House of Habsburg up to 1556 expands to the most powerful imperial structure
from the Germany to Italy & Iberia and Belgium to Hungary2.
Probably Frederick III was the first member3 of the House of Habsburg, whose chewing and
speaking / articulation suffered from Mandular Prognathism (progenism), also called Habsburg jaw.
Genetic disorders by inbreeding however could have occurred before Frederick III's reign and must
have been observed as a menace for the House of Habsburg. In serious forms of progenism the
problems in chewing may ruin the digesting process and health.
The Habsburg jaw may also distort the correct articulation of some labial letters (B, ϝ- V, M, P, U,
W). These phonetic elements may be avoided by persons who are suffering of serious forms of
progenism. In both humans and animals, progenism can be the result of inbreeding.[8]
Maybe Frederick III ordered the composition of a manual for the House of Habsburg with various
ciphered scriptures, which was to be send and lend to other (northern and southern) Habsburg
familiar branches. The core topic may have been the understanding, avoiding, preventing and
healing of genetic disorders, which are caused by inbreeding.

The traces of the A.E.I.O.U.-device
In 1437, at the age of 22, the duke Frederick III (1415–1493) may have designed a symbolic device,
which initially had been composed as a motivating formula. In 1452, at the age of 37, Frederick III
traveled to Italy to receive his bride and to be crowned Holy Roman Emperor.
Later the device may have been interpreted as: ‘En, Amor Electis, Iniustis Ordinor Ultor; Sic
Fridericus ego mea iura rego’ with the letters A.E.I.O.U. (sometimes A.E.I.O.V.)4. The device is
historically used as a motto by the Habsburgs.
There are several traces of Frederic's device 'AEIOU'. Usually the early traces of the 5 vowels are
found in Austria as the buildings and personal items, which belonged to the emperors' ownership.
The traces of the A.E.I.O.U.-device are also found in the Poor Clare Convent Ribnitz (founded
1323), in which the A.E.I.O.U.-device was used 1469 respectively 1482. These devices may have
played a role in the integration of the Duchy of Pomerania in the Holy Roman Empire.
The following 'AEIOU'-labeled events and objects may be documented between 1437 and 1493:

A short vita of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III
As a Holy Roman Emperor for 53 years Frederick III (1415–1493) is married with Eleanor of
Portugal (1434 – 1467), the mother of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. He may be responsible
for the rise of the House of Habsburg to a global empire.

The Hapsburg jaw

In a (copyrighted) portrait, which as a oil-painting is dated 1500, Frederick is painted with a clear
progenism.

The emperor's mindfulness

His interest concentrates on astronomy, astrology and the scientific occultism.

Religion and device

In 1436 he made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, accompanied by numerous nobles knighted by the
Order of the Holy Sepulchre, which earned him great reputation.
As a young man he composes a symbolic, probably ciphered device A.E.I.O.U. (sometimes spelled
as A.E.I.O.V.), which he documents in a notebook, but seems to have refused to explicitly explain
the meaning.6 Numerous curious objects are found in his heritage.
The device AEIOU may also have been composed as a category “vowels” in contrast to the
consonants. Usually the royals prepared a legendary name for their dynasty. An earlier concept for
the legend of the Quinotaur had been founded on the pentagrams CLOVIS and LOUIS as the
keywords for the French royalty7.

Historical judgment
I was surprised to find a description in which Frederick III had been described as “plant breeding”
citizen, which could not be confirmed by other historians. Of course Frederick III seemed to have
done a fine job, which is honored by most modern historians. Still I translate the description of the
“plant breeding” citizen in English:
“According to the elder historians the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III did not really
rule the empire, but devoted his time to plant breeding like a private citizen in the
political distance of Styria. The Habsburg emperor was regarded as "an odd,
unchivalrous, conflict-shy and miserly, phlegmatic man characterized by completely
poor interests and reduced to his domestic palace" [139] 8.

“Nach der älteren Forschung hat Friedrich nicht die Geschicke des Reiches gelenkt, sondern sich im politischen Abseits
der Steiermark wie ein Privatmann der Pflanzenzucht gewidmet. Der Habsburger galt als „ein kauziger,
unritterlicher, konfliktscheuer und geiziger, von gänzlich armseligen Interessen geprägter und auf seinen häuslichen
Palast reduzierter Phlegmatiker“.[139]
The library and collections
The 110 books Frederick III collected form the core collection of the later Bibliotheca Regia, that
was the predecessor of the later Imperial Library and the current Austrian National Library
(Österreichische Nationalbibliothek).[22] Originally the Voynich manuscript may have been one of
these jewels.
The emperor also collected gems for their magical impact, but not for their value.

The thrift of Frederick

Frederick's thrift was legendary. His character was pragmatic and concentrated on economy
behavior. He was very careful in decisions. He avoided wars, but successful in management. His
character may be categorized as conservative.

The marriage of Frederick and Eleonor

In 1452 (in Siena) Frederick (37, born in 1415) and his fiancée Eleanor (18, born in
1436) saw each other for the first time. Frederick may have felt worried about the frailty
of his young spouse, who had to successful in the royal procreation9.

9 Man traf sich nun in Siena, wo sich Eleonora und Friedrich zum ersten Mal sahen. Friedrich soll bei ihrem Anblick
erblasst sein, entweder vor Aufregung, oder aber aus der Furcht heraus, dass die zierliche Eleonore Schwierigkeiten
haben werde, Kinder zu gebären. Source: Kaiserkrönung und Eheschließung in Friedrich III. (HRR)
Details in the vita of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II
Rudolf II (1552 – 1612) was Holy Roman Emperor (1576–1612). One of the copies or the original
of the Voynich manuscript may have been passed from Frederick III (1415–1493) to Rudolf II.
The ownership of the manuscript may also be interpreted as an “internal inheritance” in the House
of Habsburg, which included an relatively short interval in Spain:
Frederick III (Austria) → Maximilian I (Austria) → Charles V (Spain)
→ Ferdinand I (Austria) → Maximilian II (Prague) → Rudolf II (Prague)
The name Rudolf II is mentioned in a few transactions of the Voynich manuscript.
The only matching transaction in Rudolph's records is the 1599 purchase of "a couple of
remarkable/rare books" from Karl Widemann for the sum of 600 florins.[61] :
Marci's 1665/1666 cover letter to Kircher says that, according to his friend the late
Raphael Mnishovsky, the Voynich Manuscript had once been bought by Rudolf II, Holy
Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia for 600 ducats .

Sometime before 1921, Voynich was able to read a name faintly written at the foot of
the manuscript's first page: "Jacobj à Tepenece". This is taken to be a reference to Jakub
Hořčický of Tepenec, also known by his Latin name Jacobus Sinapius.

A piece of evidence supporting Rudolph's ownership is the now almost invisible name
or signature, on the first page of the book, of Jacobus Horcicky de Tepenecz, the head of
Rudolph's botanical gardens in Prague. Rudolph died still owing money to de Tepenecz,
and it is possible that de Tepenecz may have been given the book (or simply taken it) in
partial payment of that debt.[52]

Rudolph II had ennobled Jacobus Sinapius in 1607, had appointed him his Imperial
Distiller, and had made him curator of his botanical gardens as well as one of his
personal physicians. Voynich (and many other people after him) concluded that Jacobus
owned the Voynich manuscript prior to Baresch, and he drew a link from that to
Rudolf's court, in confirmation of Mnishovsky's story.

Jacobus's name has faded further since Voynich saw it, but is still legible under
ultraviolet light. It does not match the copy of his signature in a document located by
Jan Hurych in 2003.[1][8] As a result, it has been suggested that the signature was
added later, possibly even fraudulently by Voynich himself.[1]

In 1978, Robert Brumbaugh, a professor of classical and medieval philosophy at Yale

University, claimed that the manuscript was a forgery intended to fool Emperor Rudolf
II into purchasing it, and that the text is Latin enciphered with a complex, two-step
method.[17] 10

10 Voynich Manuscript
A concept for the manual of the House of Habsburg
A successful, economical strategy requires a plan, which may be designed as a manual for the
“House of Habsburg”, which today may be described as “Voynich Manuscript”.
A central section of the manual is concentrated on the esoteric calendar, which played a basic role in
the medieval occultism. The “Voynich Manuscript” is concentrated on nymphs, which played the
roles of the bees in a beehive. I remembered the role of the bees in the Merovingian kingdoms,
which still are informed if an beekeeper dies and is replaced by a new beekeeper.
In analogy to the bees in a beehive we may identify a few queens and kings, who are identifiable
wearing symbols like crowns, rings and even a cross. The working bees are busy in taking care for
the food11, the temperature, cleaning, procreation and comfort for the queen and drones. After all the
king as a drone may be seen a male honey bee, who is needed for procreation. In the occult
descriptions of the Voynich manuscript the nymphs or queens are working and may be walking in
the honey basins, where the fluids are prepared for the beeswax and honey to raise and feed the
other bees in the beehive.
In the House of Habsburg the queens were very young and had to be motivated in carrying new
princes and princesses. The queens were allowed to live in luxury, but the mortality rate of the new-
born children and their mothers was relatively high.
In the medieval environment the occultism and superstition had to be applied to stabilize the
motivation for pregnancy and raising children, which in the House of Habsburg often suffered from
genetic disorders. Some of the children had problems in chewing, writing and learning to speak.
The offspring, who suffered from a Habsburg jaw, had problems to articulate the labials (B, ϝ- V, M,
P, U, W), in which the positions of the lips need to be intact.
In the Voynich manuscript a great number of words are shaped according to a formula, in which the
labials (B, ϝ- V, M, P, U, W) seem to be reduced12. The reduction suggests the shaping of words
according to compose the other phonetic categories: the linguals: D, ÞL, N, T, the palatals: C, G, I, J,
K, Q, X, the gutturals: A, Ε, H, O, Y and the dentals:Z, S, R.

Fig.2 The formula for the word “okShdy” in Mike Roe's generic word- from:
www.voynich.nu (home page for René Zandbergen, 2023)

The reduction of labials in the Voynich Manuscript suggests the idea that the Voynich Manuscript
may be interpreted as a manual for the House of Habsburg.

11 Including honey, beeswax, pollen, propolis, and royal jelly.

12 Voynich (16) - Another Approach to the Voynich Manuscript
The role of AEIOU-device as a signature stamp
Remarkable is the existence of two signature stamps, which I quoted in the same essay13:
Additionally the duchess Hedwig von Mecklenburg. abbess of the cloister Ribnitz,
1423, † 1467, and the duchess Elisabeth von Meklenburg, daughter of Heinrich III. of
Mecklenburg-Schwerin (abbess 1467 † 1503) used a similar AEIOU-device for their
signature stamps14. The stamps included the image of a bull's head. The stamps have
been used for at least 2 documents, dated 1469 respectively 1482. This however is a
strange signature stamp for two abbesses!

Source: Siegel der Herzogin Hedwig von Meklenburg,
Aebtissin des Klosters Ribnitz

The signature stamps may have played a role in the extension of the Holy Roman Empire at the
duchy of Pomerania.
Ribnitz was the border city between the duchy of Mecklenburg (at the west-side) and the duchy of
Pomerania (at the east-side). With Bolesław's death in 1138 and the fragmentation of Poland, Polish
overlordship ended,[10] triggering competition of the Holy Roman Empire and Denmark for the
area.[9]
In the Treaty of Soldin of 1466, a compromise was negotiated: Wartislaw X and Eric II, the dukes
of Pomerania, took over Pomerania-Stettin as a Brandenburgian fief. 15

The political strategy of Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor

Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor declared the second treaty of Prenzlau null and
void in 1469,[5] but confirmed Brandenburg's claims in 1470.[6] The treaty of Soldin
was superseded by the Second Peace of Prenzlau in May 1472, that ended the war and
confirmed Pomerania as a Brandenburgian fief.[7] A third treaty of Prenzlau (1479)
confirmed the 1472 one.[4]

The strategy of Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor, followed a 3-stage strategy to end the war and
integrated Pomerania as a Brandenburgian fief.

One of the objects is a solar quadrant, which is labeled with the device “AEIOU” and is dated
143816.
The quadrant may have been one of the first objects with a label “AEIOU”. At that time Frederick
III is 23 years old.

Comparing the months on the Quadrant and in the Voynich manuscript

The months' names in the Voynich manuscript

In the Voynich manuscript the names for the months in the folios f70v2 – f73v are written in a Latin
alphabet. In the Voynich manuscript according to the the months are interpreted as: mars –aberil –
aberil – may – may – jong – iollet – augst – septe(m)b(r) – octe(m)bre – nove(m)bre – decebre. 18 In
the database of René Zandbergen ( “About month names”) the language or dialect may be Romance
or more precise northern French.
I guess the month December should be spelled “dece(m)bre” as well.

The months' names in the Quadrant of Frederic III

In the Quadrant of Friedrich III (1438) the symbol “S” is written “9”, which is found in the months
Juanuary, March and August, as well as in the zodiac's names Aquarius, Taurus, Sagittarius and
Capricorns. Other words are terminated with standard letters “S”.
Also in the months September, October and November the letters “M” are indicated by the upper
stroke as an accent at the vowel (letter “Ē”, resp. “Ō”).

The Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich Manuscript concentrates on various topics, which are named and ordered as follows:
1. Herbal
2. Astronomical
3. Cosmological
4. Zodiac
5. Biological
6. Pharmaceutical
7. Text only with marginal stars
The order of the segments for these topics may have been chosen to Frederick's mindfulness for
occultism, astronomy and astrology.
• The Herbal, Biological and Pharmaceutical topics are segments for a study in occultism.
• Frederic's early possession of a solar quadrant indicates an early interest in the
Astronomical, Cosmological and Zodiac topics.
The Text segments only with marginal stars cannot be categorized as we do not know the contents
of the last segment.

A need for occultism with herbal, biological & pharmaceutical solutions

For a Holy Roman Emperor in the House of Habsburg the segments Biological and Pharmaceutical
segments may be essential to diagnose, understand, prevent and avoid the genetic disorders from the
Habsburg jaw.
If there were medicine, treatment or relief for those who suffered from Mandular Prognathism
(progenism) the House of Habsburg would pay any bill and be feeling comfortable in their empire.

The biological section of the Voynich manuscript

The most intriguing section of the Voynich manuscript may be the biological section, in which the
genetic distribution may be described. Maybe the illustrations with the pipes and fluids describe the
genetic processes and the birth channel.
D'Imperio qualifies it as the most unusual part of the Voynich MS. Many illustrations
leave the impression of representing a chemical (alchemical) or natural process. They
have also been compared to organs in the human body19.

I remember I identified the karst-springs in central Europe as follows: 20

• a blue water spring: the Blautopf
• a green water spring: the Aachtopf
Having discovered the serious pressure of the House of Habsburg to avoid an eliminate the genetic
disorders I decided to check the biological environment, which had not been understood....

19 http://www.voynich.nu/illustr.html#bio
20 The (Green) Aachtopf and the (Blue) Blautopf as Karst-Springs in the Voynich Manuscript
The three fluids (green, blue and yellow “fluids”)
I noticed there are three fluids (green, blue and yellow fluids), in which the blue and yellow may be
mixed to produce green fluids21:
The evidence for these yellow and blue sources, which are mixed to result in green may
be found on the Voynich pages f75r and f75v.

The origin of the blue and yellow rays and “rains” may be identified in biological page
f75r. The mixture of 50% yellow and 50% blue result in a green mixture of the water.

Fig. 7: Blue and yellow rains may be identified in biological page f75r of the
Voynich manuscript

In the bottom basin of Page f75v a lady seems to carry her crown in her right hand. This
ring with circa 4 decorations may be an equivalent of another ring with a singular
decorative circle. On other pages individual ladies are carrying similar tokens on several
pages, for example: f80v (a red ring) and f79v and f84r (uncolored rings). These ladies
may be interpreted as persons at a higher hierarchy or “Queens”.

21 The Origin of the Yellow, Blue and Green Waters

The mixture of yellow and blue rays are identified in the sketch of page f75v. The traces of the
yellow colors may inspected in magnified illustrations.

Fig. 8 The color green as the mixture of blue and yellow in page f75v (enhanced colors)

From the flow-pattern of the waters we may understand what the author tried to explain. It would be
easier to communicate if the author had chosen to use his mother's language. For some reason the
author(s) chose to encrypt the texts by an extremely difficult code (cryptography).
Of course the problems with growing numbers of genetic disorders in the offspring of the House of
Habsburg could not be allowed to leak to the common subjects. The usage of a difficult code
(cryptography) must have costed a fortune, but the encryption proved constancy and could not be
decoded.
Possible AEIOU-candidates
If Frederick III had been involved to order the encryption of the manual for the House of Habsburg,
he probably had inserted a AEIOU-device. Of course he might have chosen an encrypted code or a
5-letter word in the well-known 5 Latin vowels.
Therefore I also checked the Voynich manuscript for scriptures, which might have been used for a
suitable expression of AEIOU. In a first “trial and error” I identified the following words as possible
AEIOU-candidates:
1 0.00485 0.34466 AILDY
1 0.00485 0.34951 AILY
1 0.00485 0.35437 AIRAR
1 0.00485 0.35922 AIRCHY
1 0.00485 0.36408 AIROL
1 0.00485 0.36893 AIROLS
1 0.00485 0.37379 AIROY
1 0.00485 0.37864 AIRY
1 0.00485 0.38350 AITHY22

Of course I am not sure in how far these trials are matching the phonemes A, E, I, O and U.

22 A Grammar for Voynichese Words (Stolfi) -Last edited on 2000-06-14 04:19:03 by stolfi
Summary
Around 1437 Frederick III (1415–1493) may have designed a symbolic device ‘En, Amor Electis,
Iniustis Ordinor Ultor; Sic Fridericus ego mea iura rego’ with the letters A.E.I.O.U. (sometimes
A.E.I.O.V.)23. The device is historically used as a motto by the Habsburgs. The AEIOU-device may
have played a role in the expansion of the House of Habsburg to the northeast.
The manufacture of the vellum for the Voynich Manuscript is dated at the early 15th century (1404–
1438), in which the House of Habsburg up to 1556 expands to the most powerful imperial structure
from the Germany to Italy & Iberia and Belgium to Hungary24.

The problem of the Habsburg jaw

Probably Frederick III was the first member25 of the House of Habsburg, whose chewing and
speaking / articulation suffered from Mandular Prognathism (progenism), also called Habsburg jaw.
Genetic disorders by inbreeding however could have occurred before Frederick III's reign and must
have been observed as a menace for the House of Habsburg. In serious forms of progenism the
problems in chewing may ruin the digesting process and health.
The Habsburg jaw may also distort the correct articulation of some labial letters (B, ϝ- V, M, P, U,
W). These phonetic elements may be avoided by persons who are suffering of serious forms of
progenism. In both humans and animals, progenism can be the result of inbreeding.[8]

The Voynich manuscript

Maybe Frederick III ordered the composition of a manual for the House of Habsburg with various
ciphered scriptures, which was to be send and lend to other (northern and southern) Habsburg
familiar branches. The core topic may have been the understanding, avoiding, preventing and
healing of genetic disorders, which are caused by inbreeding.
The Voynich manuscript is an expensive encrypted scripture, which may also have been studied up
till circa 1600 by the Hapsburg leaders in Austria, France, Belgium, Italy and Spain. The contents of
the Voynich manuscript (Herbal, Biological, Pharmaceutical, Astronomical, Cosmological and
Zodiac topics) match to Frederick's mindfulness for occultism, astronomy and astrology.
The Biological section of the Voynich manuscript describes three fluids (colored green,blue and
yellow), which may describe a model for the genetic orders and/or disorders of the human beings.
A central section of the manual for the Hapsburg is concentrated on the esoteric calendar, which
played a basic role in the medieval occultism. The “Voynich Manuscript” is concentrated on
nymphs, which played the roles of the bees in a beehive.
In analogy to the bees in a beehive we may identify a few queens and kings, who are identifiable
