VMs: Another INDEX, and: Language on 1006106
Dear all,
to know which picture is which folio, an initial
index to the Bienecke scanes is presented here:
http://www.voynich.nu/brblscan.html
This should evolve into something nicer eventually
but should be helpful right now.
Note that 4 pages were not scanned (including
our beloved Pleiades page :-( ) and 2 pages
could not be photographed completely due
to the state of the MS (Cancer and Leo).
On Jon Grove's question:

I always found it somewhat dismaying that we can't
even properly decipher the plain text in the MS
:-(
Cheers, Rene
