Hei Dana,

Hm, I checked it out... this line is probably not of much use, since it's 
hard to tell whether it's an integral part of the book, or a marginal note 
added later on...

Wasn't it mentioned somewhere that there were "three lines of German" in a 
paragraph of Voynichese?

And what about the "key"? Some latin phrase, translating to "I have been 
given many doors" on the last page? I checked but couldn't find any 
decipherable (ha!) latin letters there.

If this is truly a hoax, that'd be the best thing, because then the riddle 
would never end...

Cheers,

	Elmar

unknowns - there are things we do not know we don't know. And each year
we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns." (Rumsfeld)
