Transcription information

Transcriptions are taken from voynich.nu. Version information is as follows:

• Takeshi Takahashi (1999 version) which covers 96.8% of the corpus
• LZ - Zandbergen 1b is the "Zandbergen" part of the LZ transcription effort. It covers 100% of the corpus.
• The Landini-Stolfi Interlinear file, which covers 99% of the corpus

It is important to understand how the corpus transcriptions work. Before working with them, and especially before publishing research, you should read the notes on the page here. Voynich.ninja simply mirrors the IVTFF transcription files from voynich.nu and is not responsible for their upkeep or development. Transcriptions errors should be reported to both Voynich.Ninja and Voynich.Nu.

How the regex works

We take your search query and match it against the text. The parser works in the Roman alphabet version of EVA.

How to search?

Enter a search term to search in the corpus you select.
Select all text to find your search phrase anywhere in a word (ie oto would match potol,oto & otol.
Select prefix if you only want to match terms at the beginning of words (ie otol but not photo).
Select suffix if you only want to match terms at the end of words.(ie photo but not otol)
Select word if you only want to match whole words.(ie oto but not otol or photo)
Search is CaSe SeNsItIvE. All EVA terminology is in lower case, but use UPPER CASE to extract information from the corpus (see next section).

Parsing the transcription

You can extract portions of the transcription by using the correct terminology. <F1R> extracts everything for F1R (including comments).
Extracting folios Get transcription by using the folio number in UPPERCASE, ie, F1R. Basic regex expressions can be used: F*R extracts all recto information for all pages; F1\D extracts both sides of F1.

Regex

Basic regex can be used. So searching for da[i|ii]+n returns dain, daiin.
