Voynich Net Forum

If you missed the recent UPenn event, it was recorded and is now up on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlwjwLYTJug From the description, "On August 14, Curator Dot Porter brought out a facsimile of Beinecke Library MS 408, aka The Voynich Manuscript. This is a realistic facsimile that looks...

New blog post, "Yes, Wilfrid Could Have Seen the Letters": https://proto57.wordpress.com/2024/08/08/yes-wilfrid-may-have-seen-the-letters/ https://proto57.wordpress.com/2024/08/08/yes-wilfrid-may-have-seen-the-letters/ It has been claimed many times in recent years, in defense of the Voynich as a ge...

Hi Mike: Well of course that is really interesting, and I can't imagine anyone "hating" you if you are correct. I suppose you mean "others who have their own theories of translation"? But most would be very happy to see success... at least I know I would. But forgive my skepticism. We have all seen ...

Is there any evidence of this or just speculation? I was going to ask the same thing, actually.

"The Voynich Garden" is a marvelous new site which lists all of the plants of the manuscript, along with every known tentative identification of those plants. Well it is a work in progress, with many identifications already in place, but many more to come. https://thevoynichgarden.cryptobotany.org/h...

Welcome to the forum, Kim. And you point out many important questions about the Voynich. And I think we all share the hope that we will learn what it is all about, someday.
