Re: I solved the Voynich Manuscript - found book matches from the time period

Hi James: Sorry it has been a few months, but nonetheless I thought I would reply to your post: As far as testing any proposed translation, my personal test is a two step method which I derived from the book "The Shakespearian Ciphers Examined", by William and Elizebeth Friedman. For any solution......

Thomas Ernst's Dissection of the Marci Letter Latin

In the comments below my blog post of September, 2015, "The 1665 Marci Letter: A Forgery?", Thomas Ernst has posted a series of comments carefully explaining why the Latin of that letter (the one Voynich claimed to have found in the Voynich, of course) is problematic in ways that would never appear ...

Re: Exploring a New Angle on the Voynich Manuscript – Gidea Hall / Essex Connection

Hi: I looked over your website, and your claims are intriguing. I was wondering the sources of your information to build your chain of custody and timeline, though. Maybe it is on the site and I just missed it, so apologies in advance... but what documents do you have, for instance, to place the Voy...

Re: YOU ARE GOING TO HATE ME

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 ...

Re: There could be several copies of the Voynich Manuscript

Is there any evidence of this or just speculation? I was going to ask the same thing, actually. There have not been found, nor described, any trace of anything remotely similar to the Voynich manuscript for all of history. If there were these many copies, as claimed, surely there would be some evid...
