  • By applying the principles of Latin Paleography to the writing system of the Voynich Manuscript (Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library MS 408), it is possible to identify distinguishing features of individual scribes. This lecture explains the principles of Latin paleography and demonstrates how these principles can be profitably applied to the writing system of the Voynich Manuscript in order to 1) distinguish different scribal hands; 2) identify the scribal output of each hand; and 3) potentially identify abbreviations and ligatures in the writing system. The implications of these conclusions for current and future research on the Voynich Manuscript are discussed as well. This paper may be downloaded here: ceur-ws.org/Vol-3313/keynote2...

    On page 116V there is the report of whoever carried out the restoration of the manuscript after a flood. On this occasion some pages were eliminated because they were too damaged. The annotations are written in Latin italics.

    The alphabet contains 4 different character set from languages spoken in same way but written in different form. There was no consistency of a set language in the region.

    Hello, is there a way to share a blog post on evidence for a syllable based system as evidenced by the numerous italic 'I' strokes? I have devised a way to pronounce the Voynich MS oblivious of the principle of necessity of cognates which would just create something akin to seeing faces in clouds where there aren't any

    But in the end a real letter by letter analiz is needed, bless you

    I know what these are and what they say!

  • @agentgroovington9700

    I believed there were some compelling evidence showing the manuscript to be written in ancient Turkish

    As a former nun, I can offer some insight into this mysterious book. It's not written in any language, known or unknown. It wasn't meant to be read silently, but to be sung as part of a healing ceremony for women's health issues, specifically those living in medieval Italian cloisters. The herbs, astrological signs, and recipes throughout the book are symbolic representations of the connection between human health and the natural world. Imagine chanting a rhythmic, medieval song based on the markings in this book. This chant would have been used in a ceremony to promote women's healing, incorporating practices like therapeutic baths. The reason linguistic and cryptographic analysis have failed, and will continue to do so, is because this isn't code or a secret language. It's a form of musical notation. To understand this book, we need to focus on the intonations and sounds associated with the different symbols, rather than trying to translate them word for word. This is where musicology can be incredibly helpful in deciphering the melody.

  • @alanx4121

    voynich is debunked in the video titled the big con job 01: the con of paleography

  • @somedutchguy9184

    You people still dont have any clue, calling that a K without any proof

  • @somedutchguy9184

    All you can do is deduct, but never translate

  • @somedutchguy9184

    This is just BS

    The thing that annoys me most, is the so called scientists pretending they know anything at all
