Re: VMs: Hi ...

[Rene Zandbergen <r_zandbergen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I'm not quite sure that I understand what you
meant, but Voynich did write, in his own words,
that he was looking for a way to connect the
VMs in Prague with Roger Bacon, and found
Dee. 
This is, because at the same time, Newbold
had presented his 'proof' that the VMs was 
from Bacon.

Cheers, Rene
