VMs: new revelations
As it is often the case, a day after publishing the biographical
sketch on WMV on my Website, I found new information - and very
exciting. So I have removed the page I announced yesterday
and put there a portrait of young Voynich - now known to be really
Michal Wojnicz, while "Wilfryd" was his conspiracy pseudonym
(maybe taken from Adolphe Adam's Romantic ballet Giselle
or its original sory by Heine). So I was right when I wrote
not so long ago that Wilfryd was a rather impossible name
for a Pole at that time.

I have checked a book on the court process of the "second"
_Proletarjat_ (ie. revived after the original organisation
had been smashed by the secret police two years earlier).
Voynich was a very important activist - listed as no. 4
of those accused of conspiracy.
And now the hard core stuff: his job in the organisation
was forging passports, making types for printing blank
forms, setting up a secret printing press, etc.!
The police searching the flats of Wilfryd's collaborators
found some letters written by him in cypher (yes, CYPHER!)
and using chemical "sympathetic" ink!
Well?
Best regards,
Rafal
