Hi everyone,

In the September 2004 issue of Wired there's an article (pp. 112,
114, 116, 121) on Gordon Rugg's de-bunking of the Voynich MS. The
Wired article focuses on his methodology, not the MS, but it mentions
his article on the MS in the journal _Cryptologia_  published earlier
this year. I think medieval studies folks will be interested in the
Wired article discussion of his method -- "the verifier approach"  --
used for problem solving and examining "expertise gaps" as well as
the article on the MS.

*sigh* I stopped reading Wired after their godawful 1997 "Long Boom" issue, when editor Kevin Kelly's desire for techno-spectacle over actual substance finally became too hard for me to swallow. From the above precis, it would seem that nothing much has changed since then. :-(


Cheers, ....Nick Pelling....
