TED-ED video about the Voynich manuscript

I’m pleased to say that there is a new educational video about the Voynich manuscript which I was invited to script, published by the prestigious TED-ED group:

It was published only yesterday and already has 382,753 views, which is gratifying Unreal Studio.

However, any errors or omissions are of course my own responsibility.

One thing I was not able to do was to name names of current scholars such as René Zandbergen,, whose work has been one of the (few) real contributions to our understanding of the manuscript in the last 100 years 포토샵cs3 다운로드. However, in the full lesson itself, I was able to mention his work and refer people to his and other websites. See the full lesson here:
