For those who are curious, I notice that this website has now reached more than 200,000 unique visitors since it was started in 2014 (i.e Production x101 4. not counting repeat visits). Of course this is testament to the power and fascination of the Voynich manuscript, and not to my personal allure 🙂 .

For a quick summary of where I stand on the Voynich manuscript see here.

2. Voynich manuscript research update:

– Voynich plants: See a detailed and professional discussion of Voynich plants contributed by an anonymous Finnish biologist 출동 케이캅 다운로드. In my view this should be required reading for anyone interested in the plants in the Voynich manuscript. To my mind it gives a fascinating new insight into the mind of the people who created the plant drawings.

Then look at the extensive and expert discussion of specific Voynich plants  by the same author 천재교육 국어 교과서 다운로드. More added recently. Thanks to him for his work.

–  I have now created a  section devoted to Mediaeval herbal manuscripts and another small one on Voynich stars which you might find interesting.

–  Following my provisional identification of a number of plants and proper names in my Feb 2014 paper, I have now added two more provisional identifications and names 사랑 범벅 다운로드. See my full analysis of page 6v, with a proposed identification of the castor oil plant, Ricinus communis, together with analysis of the first word of the page as relating to, and perhaps deriving originally from, the Arabic. Secondly, see a possible identification of the Marsh mallow (plant 5v) (Althaea officinalis) with a name in the Voynich manuscript which appears possibly to derive from Persian. This second still awaits more detailed research but I feel it is a strong possibility.

–  I’ve now posted an area for discussion of Voynich plants, to get your feedback on the plants and their possible names.

Thanks
