The last page f116v revisited
I would like to revisit the last page of the Voynich manuscript, namely f116v Free download of Bible hymns. Here below I reproduce the proposed analysis offered by Johannes Albus at the Voynich 100 conference in Italy in May 2012. One reason for reproducing it here is that it seems to me relatively unknown 악마는 프라다를 입는다 다운로드. I have tried to find out more about Albus and his research, but with no success.
This is the link to the relevant Voynich page 이까리 다운로드.
Albus’ transcription and gloss is as follows:

The Voynich: lost language theory
One possible explanation of the Voynich manuscript’s mysterious script and underlying language – a view which I find plausible – is that the script was devised for a particular community, possibly to write down an already existing language, and then that script was lost to us, with the exception of the Voynich manuscript visual studio c++ 2010 다운로드.
Just such an example has just been uncovered, as can be seen in this report from the Smithsonian magazine:
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/long-lost-languages-found-manuscripts-egyptian-monastery-180964698/
In essence, researchers have been examining old manuscripts housed at St Catherine’s monastery in Egypt which were palimpsests – pages from which older writing had been erased and newer writing added in order to reuse …
A proposed identification of a word found on f77v – by Darren Worley
This is a post sent in by Darren Worley – thanks Darren.
——————–
In this report I suggest a possible reading for a text label found on f77v. This follows on from a 2015 post on the same topic (here) that I now believe to be incomplete. I also speculate on what this might imply for the identity of Voynichese.
The text label under-disussion is shown bordered in red in the image below Pokémon Giratina nds. It accompanies a diagram of the male genitals. Importantly, also depicted within the same image is a pregnant female figure. I believe that this pregnant female figure is critical to correctly interpreting the meaning of this text …
A proposed identification for the f57v symbol, by Darren Worley
This post was contributed by Darren Worley – many thanks!
—————
On page f57v of the Voynich manuscript, in the bottom right hand corner, an unusual symbol can be found. In this short report I suggest a possible identification and its purpose. I also describe a mid-15th century manuscript containing many other examples of this symbol 교보문고 apk 다운로드.
Several Voynich manuscript researchers in the past have noted and suggested possible meanings for this symbol, but no comparable examples have been identified. Hopefully, by identifying other examples of this symbol a better understanding of the early history of the Voynich manuscript can be established.

How to crack the Voynich code, and how not to…..
Here is a pastiche of the type of message I get almost every week:
“Dear Mr Bax,
I am writing to tell you that I saw your website and I have deciphered the Voynich manuscript. You won’t believe me but it took me only two hours! I haven’t read anything much about the manuscript, but I am 100% sure that it is written in Icelandic/Hottentot/Mayan/Greek. Personally, I don’t know anything of that language but I put some words into Google Translate and it came out with this text:
…….. What do you think?”
Since I get these messages so regularly I thought it might be useful to sketch out why this approach to the script and language of the …
Alain Touwaide on the Voynich – a review by René Zandbergen
I am grateful to René Zandbergen, whose authoritative site on the Voynich manuscript can be found here, for contributing the following review:
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the acquisition by the Society of Jesus of Villa Mondragone, the Second University of Rome ‘Tor Vergata’ has published a new book about the Villa.

The book, written in Italian, was presented to the world one month ago, on 25 February 2016 구글 사전 다운로드.
Such a volume had to include an article about the Voynich MS, and we find it on pp.141-158, written by the well-known historian of medicine Alain Touwaide, with a few small illustrations. While he is author of many …
Voynich phonetics (June 2015 version) by Derek Vogt
Addendum from Derek, April 2016:
New version of the list… no new plants or astrological items to add, but /y/ is now included as a secondary interpretation for the letter ^r^ in a few cases, and the definitions of phonetic symbols are now collected near the top instead of given individually with their first applications in the tables, and a few old entries have some bits of new information added, like folios 27r & 28r. The slight shift in its overall appearance/style is a side effect of a switch from one file format to another (HTML to word processor).
The most significant difference now is the new section after the herbal & …
More patterns in the Voynich text
The website http://www.voynichese.com/ is a fascinating addition to our tools for analysing the manuscript Sims 4 expansion. Here I will just point out one or two things it has helped me to notice which I think are interesting:
1. Look at the word EVA:qokeedy as analysed in voynichese.com: http://www.voynichese.com/#/exa:qokeedy/517
What is curious about this is how the word is relatively rare in the first 73 folios, but then suddenly explodes in the Balneological section from f75r onwards until f84v, the last page of the Balneological section, when it suddenly stops, to resume again at the first page of the Recipes section (f103r) and continue quite frequently to the end of the manuscript 카카오 택시 …
Spelling variation and the Voynich manuscript
In the past I have argued that we must take account of spelling variation when we study the Voynich manuscript Richreach download. Many people fail to realise how common it was for mediaeval scribes to use a variety of different spellings even for the same words on the same line 재밌는 게임 다운로드. Standardised spelling conventions are a modern obsession which we mustn’t apply to the Voynich.
Here is a good example of the kind of spelling variation I’m talking about. Look at this image (below) from the wonderful 14th century Occitan manuscript I have discussed before abbyy pdf transformer 다운로드.
Look especially at the words for ‘sun’ Servlet Excel. Remember that the Voynich manuscript has similar images …
Voynich phonetics – Derek Vogt
Derek Vogt has kindly provided an update of his scheme, so the one on this page is now outdated.
Please see his revised and updated June 2015 scheme here and add any comments or suggestions onto that page multiplication feed.
Here I am posting the Voynichese phonetic system which Derek Vogt has been working on, drawing on approaches used in my earlier paper which attempted to sketch out a few sound-symbol relationships in the Voynich script Download the contour map. Derek has been drawing on a few other resources:
