Perhaps it is that they don’t agree with mine, but they do not say this either. I think some of the ones I’ve seen could possibly be concurrently feasible with mine but so far I have not seen interest in such discussion. I think the problem is that there are so many theories out there, but none of them work together. If so maybe we could support each other’s respective ideas. Hi Jutta, I’m working on the manuscript too (the post after this thread) and was wondering if you might take a look at mine and see if there is something that matches your translations. It is therefore an enormous burden to earn money for living expenses and to work on it. But sometimes you can spend several days on one passage, because you have to stay in this conceptual model. This also means that you cannot even sits down 1 to 2 hours to this work and leave this work then. One has just to think in the same process to recognize these formations, which are hidden in the manuscript. There are spatial mental models as a base frame, which played with language and yet the key has clear rules. The second key “missing pages” I’ve found opens the next level and would not be possible with a rigid system. The key is not only a key in the key, but it also has a measure of variability, which only makes it possible to account other processes. It has been developed over a long period of time.Īll previous decryptions are following the same pattern of black and white or 1:1. The manuscript is the result of a brainstorming session of highly gifted people, probable at least a Savant was also present, which was not created in a few days. I tried to clarify on my pages, that the manuscript has been created by highly intelligent people. You can find a full description at Yale’s Voynich catalog record, and perhaps form your own theory of how a book that seems so fluidly written, so packed with intended meaning, can become a complete mystery. Meanwhile, researchers at Delaware State University argued the manuscript may have its origins in central Mexico after analyzing the nature of the bizarre plant illustrations. A linguist at the University of Bedfordshire in the UK proposed sounds to match the symbols, declaring he had decoded 14 of them. Some still speculate it is all a hoax, but carbon dating at least confirms its age, and even this year researchers are attempting to puzzle out the meaning from this book no one can be read. There its curvy writing in brownish-black ink, flowers sometimes sprouting animal parts like something from a deranged herbal, and zodiac charts beckon code breakers. It arrived at Yale in 1969 impressively intact, housed now in the Beinecke as the star obscurity among an incredible trove of rare texts. Believed to have been created in Central Europe, its path over the centuries is unclear - at one point in the 17th century it was reportedly sent to Athanasius Kircher, scholar of the scientific and the strange. Voynich, who for the rest of his life tried and failed to derive meaning from the manuscript apparently about the natural world. See the location gallery for images of the places where the Voynich MS probably resided in the course of its history.Ĭomments, questions, suggestions? Your feedback is welcome.In 1912, the manuscript started to make its way into contemporary conscious when it was acquired by antique book dealer Wilfrid M. See the portrait gallery for portraits of key people related to the Voynich MS, including previous owners and important analysts. This does not play a big role in most cases, with as main exception the illustration of the zodiac sign Leo, which in this older series is only partially visible.Īt this site, easy access to both sets of digital images is provided via the "MS Browser", which is reached via this button (available on most pages): The images used here are those from the first digitisation in 2004. >tool developed by Jason Davies called the Voynich MS Voyager.
