Re: Voynich Manuscript

[Dana Scott <dfscott@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Jan,

   Thank you very much for your prompt response. As a start, here are a couple
of web sites that discuss Georg Baresch and the Voynich Manuscript (Experts
from the Voynich discussion group can help fill in the gaps).

Athanasius Kircher Correspondence Project at Stanford University:
(contains copies of correspondence from Marci and Baresch to Kircher)
http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/hasrg/hdis/kircher.html

Voynich Manuscript:
http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~stolfi/voynich/

Any assistance that you could provide in tracking down M. Georg Baresch would
be most appreciated. A request will be made to add your e-Mail address will to
the Voynich mailing list.

Regards,
Dana Scott

Dana Scott
