Incredible. Thanks. I logged onto the
http://www.flamingjesus.com/voynich/ site and started downloading. Wow.
This is great. CopyFlo from Beinecke Rare Books would have been great,
but since I am not currently located in North America, this site is
wonderful. Does anyone know if these scans are copyrighted? Like, if I
produce a web page with my (hopefully) translations, will I be breaking
someone's copyright laws?

I guess that's a ways away. I'll be busy trying to decipher this thing
for a few hours. :) 

I'm away on a trip for the next four or five days, so I will try and get
some serious thinking done while I'm traveling, and then tackle the
material next week. I guess non of you is expecting a big breakthrough
between now and then are you? 

And thanks for the help with the EVA font. Yes, there are lots more
characters here. Now to try and get them down to something less than 30,
hopefully around 22. I already have formed some strong opinions about
this text, but there are some problems with my theory. I would think
that the last couple of scribes/monks who copied the material, perhaps
several times, started making compound errors, as they were copying a
language that was unknown to them. As a result, I can only recognize
five or six of the characters, and the rest seem to have been reduced to
scribbles. This is definitely an interesting book, but I still haven't
downloaded it all.
