Voynich Net Forum

Hello everyone,

I’m researching a potential new perspective on the provenance of the Voynich Manuscript, exploring links to Gidea Hall in Essex and the Cooke family archives. My work draws on primary sources and historical records, some of which have not been widely discussed in Voynich research.

The goal is to invite discussion and feedback from fellow researchers and enthusiasts, particularly on verifying archival links, manuscript details, and historical context.

You can explore the evidence and findings here: https://secretsofthecipher.com

A membership portal will be opening soon, offering deeper access to evidence, interactive timelines, and research tools for collaborators.

I’d welcome any thoughts or suggestions!

Best regards,

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 Voynich Manuscript in "Sir Anthony Cooke's royal library", for instance?

It would be a major breakthrough in the field if you have found provenence for the Voynich. So, of course, I am really interested in what you have found.

Your research introduces an exciting new perspective. Tracing the Voynich Manuscript to the Cooke family archives at Gidea Hall provides a fascinating alternative to the traditional Italian narrative. Connecting John Dee’s documented 1579 visit to the estate offers a compelling, Uhmegle, traceable chain of custody that bridges its English origins with its well-known journey to Prague. Your use of primary sources, like census and school records, CooMeet, adds rigorous, refreshing depth to this historical mystery. The upcoming membership portal sounds like a great way to engage other researchers. Exploring these archival links and sharing your detailed timeline will surely spark valuable discussion and collaboration within the community.
