She claims that the manuscript is written in the Galician language. It was written by Cyrano, the Spanish monarch (or monk - bad pronunciation). She translated the name lavender (standing on the table). The last plant in the manuscript is grapes (translated). The alphabet is not presented. Take our word for it. Advertises his book of 700 pages, where everything will be described (?).

Cyrano or Serrano, the monk, in Petra.
The last plant represented is the grapevine, which would be proof that the manuscript is a copy of Dioscorides, because the grapevine was always represented in the last position.

In her early press releases she was writing she had translated the VMS and that she had a c. 500-page manuscript describing the text and drawings.
Now she is writing that she is leaning toward Torsten Timm's autocopying idea.
Those are conflicting statements.
The blogpost doesn't tell us very much but she has some odd ideas about f116v. If she has changed her ideas about the VMS text being readable (saying that it might be fabricated text) then what was all that advanced publicity about her having translated it?
Unfortunately, I only know a tiny bit of Russian, mostly written Russian, and I can't understand more than a few words when she speaks so fast.
Did she happen to mention which drawing she thinks is lavender? And what does she mean by the last image, does she mean a big plant-drawing or a small one?

I was assuming she meant f66v- does that seem to fit?
(It fits one possible definition of "last", at least)
Hmmm, no You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. does not fit lavender, and neither does that second group of big plants at f87v so I don't know what she's trying to communicate with the lavender plant. There are a few that look a bit like lavender, but they could also be other things.

His alleged translation clearly seems to me to be a hoax. And it is not because I myself am a follower of mono-alphabetical substitution, but because her discourse does not evolve, she always remains on lavender, the shepherd's purse and the grapevine and the world is still waiting for her book.

There is not much resemblance between You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and lavender (the real plant). And... there is also not much resemblance between You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and medieval drawings of lavender either. So I guess I will not hold my breath waiting for the book.
