Very nice indeed!

Voynich 'firmly believed' that the VMs was really
from the hand of Roger Bacon. I think it is safe
to say that he was wrong (?).
How right was he about the other items? (Magellan
map, oldest set of playing cards....)
Probably it does not matter.

I had wondered before who was Frank Gunsaulus. Do I
understand correctly that he was a curator of the
Chicago Art Institute?

Cheers, Rene
