I left the recent conference with the impression that one can put the transcriptions through various statistical or computistic algorithms or whatever and get very different results. I decided from an early stage that I would only approach the manuscript with a historian's methods, and not try to decrypt it. There are lots of theories about what the nature of the language is, as you say. We hope our identification will narrow research on the manuscript considerably. Keagan and Michelle will soon be publishing an article in a top journal which lays out our thoughts on the manuscript and identifies the correct reading of the Voynich Rosettes. Thanks to all of you for your comments and to the team at AskHistorians for providing such a wonderful forum for public discussion and knowledge transfer. I'm going to take a short break and be back to answer more questions, so keep 'em coming!ĮDIT 3: It's time to wrap this up! It's been fun. AMA about the Voynich manuscript!ĮDIT: It's 11:06am in Sydney. It has been called 'the most mysterious manuscript in the world'. The VMS is a 15th-century illustrated manuscript written in a code and covered in illustrations of naked women. I've been working on the Voynich manuscript for some time with my co-researcher Michelle Lewis, and I recently attended the online conference on it hosted at the University of Malta. Hi everyone!
