Seize Soixante-Quatre reasons...Valentina Visconti.
These facts come from internet sources, which can't even begin to be reliable, so true academics would want to look for dovetails. This is one of a few places that has reliable Voynich information, relative to the internet. I have no stake.
Have touched on many of your sites but couldn't possibly fathom it all...just not that smart. Sometimes it's good to know that
in advance.
Who, What, When, Where, Why and How?
When: 1404-1438 has been established with 95% accuracy.
Where: Italy, Germany, or France have all been bandied about?
Why: Some things can be established -- you would all know better.
But here is the crackpot case for the "Diary of Valentina Visconti."
Born either 1366, 1368, or 1371.
Born in Paris?
Might have been a third child but was considered an only because her two older brothers died?
The apple of her father's eye, who just happened to be the First Duke of Milan and a very prominent man.
What does every child want from their Father? Attention.
Mother who was French, died when Valentina was between 2 and 7 years old.
Had 8! children, of which 3 went on to have a "full" life.
Spoke three languages, including French and Latin.
Well read, and obviously had access to her father's library, which was extensive.
Loved her books.
Lost an Aries, her first, a son. Mar 25, 1390.
Lost another Aries/Taurus April 1401.
Other children were a Gemini, Virgo/Libra, Sagittarius, Cancer/Leo, Cancer and Sagittarius.
The only majority in the history of man: women. If you play the odds, it's a woman.
The level of intrigue in this period of French/Italian history is mind-numbing.
VM starts with herbs. Whimsical, idealistic, happy.
VM ends with writing. Something to say. No more pretty pictures of flowers.
The writing is not formal, but could certainly be considered an interpretation of the formal writing of the day.
And she certainly would have something to say...
Died in 1408.
The crossover between French and Latin could be explained if someone spoke French and was her own coding machine
from Latin to French, or had a built device that provided her one way to code so only she knew the clues.
With respect to f57v, has anyone ever discounted a "repeating key" Alberti Cipher?
Which, would, by the way, be technology that wasn't publicly known or available at the time?
17 is an unlucky number in Italy, but a woman from France could certainly have a sense of humor about it and be clever
all at the same time.
Not an academic, so this type of blather is exactly the type of blather that you would expect to see on the internet.
The difference between ignore and ignorance is a few letters.
"Vive La France."
