I recently published a research paper entitled the Voynich Manuscript and Nostradamus Connection, which can be found on the blog section of my website: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

I realize the website choice might appear bit unusual. I am first and foremost a photographer and visual artist. But something inside me clicked the moment I chanced upon the Voynich Manuscript. So I used my own website as the primary source for publishing my first research paper if that logic makes any sense.

I otherwise feel a certain sense of urgency to communicate my findings as I am personally convinced beyond a shadow of doubt that Nostradamus was connected with the Voynich Manuscript. My research paper aims to establish that connection in five detailed points, and is supplemented with many illustrative examples. Please also note the text-only part of my research paper has been submitted for copyright registration with the U.S. Copyright Office.

These are not the only observations I made within the Voynich Manuscript. They are but the tip of the proverbial iceberg in attempts to establish authorship, notably Nostradamus. In time I hope to share more of my findings related to other key topics like linguistics, botany, astrology, and kabbalah to name a few. Meanwhile, I hope you will consider my first research paper for review.

Hi All,
Is anyone knowledgeable about the available computer fonts for Voynichese?  I am aware of the "Voynich 123" (and "Voynich 1.01") which I believe was prepared by Glen Caston, and the "EVA Hand 1" font prepared by Gabriel Landini.  Both are true-type fonts.

My problem is that I am attempting to use the EVA Hand 1 font in a LaTeX file using the pdflatex processor, which is not compatible with TrueType fonts. It requires a tex font metric and a few accompanying files and I have not been able to convert the true-type font files successfully.

Has anyone dealt with this particular issue? Or have any advice?

Greatly appreciated.

A few more recent posts here, including this one on 'Pelling traps', a matter of relevance to all Voynich researchers.

In response to a reproduction request that I made for an enciphered letter to the Milan State Archives I also asked candidly and directly about the Voynich. I have received this response->

"The State Archives of Milan preserve a considerable amount of documentation potentially contemporary with the Voynich manuscript.  However, these are not mostly codes, but documents (papers and parchments), which
appear to have exclusively content-related affinities with the manuscript you are interested in (e.g.
Sforza scat.  1569 is a collection of materials on astrological topics).
The director
Professor Annalisa Rossi"


Has any Voynich researcher visited the Milan State Archives ever? It is my impression that the Milan Archives have been much slower in digitising its content than some other archives.(As seems to be a common problem with Italian archive.)
