Voynich Net Forum

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 ...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

From a couple of weeks ago, actually: https://proto57.wordpress.com/2024/03/17/i-do-listen-to-the-experts-do-you/ And two interesting discussions were sparked on the Voynich Ninjas by this, with pages and pages of comments. Here is the first thread, started by me: https://www.voynich.ninja/thread-42...

"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...
