Re: VMs: new revelations

[Rene Zandbergen <r_zandbergen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all (and especially, of course, Rafal),

the attached E-mail is truly fascinating and it
may lead to a rather new picture of Voynich.
Let us also not forget that he  married a woman
with a 'spy' history.

At the same time, however, I would be careful
not to jump to conclusions. How many of the MSs
he acquired from 'an undisclosed source in 
Europe' in 1912 were from his pen? 

I am open to all valid evidence.

But, the Voynich MS has been judged by all
experts who saw it as a genuine 15C MS.

If it were a 1900 Russian cipher, wouldn't
it be solved by now???

All the best,
         Rene
