Re: The Hoax Theory (was: VMs: Codex Seraphinianus...?)

[Gordon Rugg <g.rugg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Dennis,

>From what I recall, the Voynichese statistics don't fit with a glossolalia
explanation. In addition, the VMS syntax doesn't fit with the richest
examples of glossolalia (Enochian and Helene Smith's Martian) in the
literature - both the latter use the same syntax as their originators'
respective first languages.

Best wishes,

Gordon
