No I definately hadn't tracked that one down. Thanks for that!
The symbols are interesting. What is even more interesting is that Brahe showed
more symbols than Trithemius. If Brahe knew of an extended set then were there
even more that haven't come to light yet?

Hi Jeff
Otherwise, I only found this about T.B. and ciphers at the moment. Did
you already know?
My expectation is yes...
( sigh)
Hi
everyone,
I've just had a second email from UPenn, saying that
actually they do have
Newbold's papers after all. I've converted their
inventory listing to HTML
and added it to my list of Voynichiana on GC's
site:-
http://www.voynichinfo.com/nickpelling/upt50_n533.html
The
contents appear somewhat scrambled: I suspect they may not have been
examined since 1928. Possibly problematic for us is the "Empty envelope:
Bacon photos of MS examination after July 8" - still, until one of us
goes
through all the boxes properly, I guess we won't know.
:-(
Note that there is also a listing for Professor Roland Grubb
Kent's papers,
which I've also asked for a listing of.

Anyone here live near
UPenn?
Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
