That is interesting! But not correct. It was not Nick Pelling that did the
attempted decoding. Credit where credit is due! :-)

Seriously though. Did you look at the letter counts? Does the voynich
produce similar letter counts in its raw state? Or are the counts evenly

am almost sure no one would have used the same method. See my second
translation attempt.
