The Voynich Ninja

We may have a pattern here:

Quote:According to Bernhart-Königstein, we should confidently forget everything we knew or thought we knew about the monumental oil painting in the Pinacoteca Vaticana so that we can now finally get into the “true face” of the “most famous painting in the world” that he revealed, to be able to look. Consequently, the Viennese art historian, who is apparently hardly plagued by self-doubt and scientific faintheartedness, works very consistently when he dismisses the extremely rich reception history of »Transfiguration« on a few pages rather than deals with it and soon gets to the point: his own view of Raphael’s work.

Also, Kaspar von Silenen was the first commander of the Swiss Guard, and died in 1517.

Digits forms of quire marks 4, 5, 7 are very unlikely to have survived until the late 15th c. let alone the 16th c.

Dear sports friends, I have never made such an egotistical statement, which is twisted here from a very polemical review in an insidious way, as if it had been made by me. It is also factually wrong. I ask you to refrain from such defamatory behavior.

It was precisely to Raphael's Transfiguration of Christ that I dug up the whole forgotten older discussion and rediscovered that it was once "the most famous painting in the world" and that despite the rescue attempts by Goethe, Hegel and Nitzsche the older problem of the "double action" could not be solved so far.

But back to the topic of the forum. Fortunately, the Voynich Manuscript is not the shroud of Turin as far as the radicarbon method is concerned. If anyone feels left out, like the offended reviewer above, with whom I was in personal correspondence as a colleague, please contact me at any time.

I wonder if you could clarify what you mean with that?
Note that there was already an inaccurate statement about the Voynich C-14 dating in this thread, though (presumably) not from you.

It is clear of course that the accurate dating of the Voynich MS does not have anywhere near the public impact as that of the shroud of Turin, if that is what you meant.
