It has, a few years ago.

The nice thing about this herbal is that it is
well represented on the Web. However, I think that
I am not wrong in saying that there are probably
hundreds of medieval MS herbal books around,
that look similar to the Voynich MS in one way
or another. I wish they would all be as accessible
as this one.

Talking about herbal pictures, the Beinecke image
catalogue which used to be at
http://inky.library.yale.edu/voy/voy2.html 
is gone. Does anyone know whether this is just
a move?

Did anyone copy (and keep) the pictures ???

Cheers, Rene
