What if the Voynich Manuscript is Actually Old French (1000-1400)? Posted by: pegalac - 24-07-2024, 12:21 AM - Forum: Voynich Talk - Replies (14) Dear friends and enthusiasts of mysteries and history, For centuries, the Voynich Manuscript has intrigued and fascinated researchers worldwide. This enigmatic manuscript, written in an undecipherable language or code, has defied all attempts at decryption. But a question arises: what if the Voynich Manuscript is actually written in old French, dating back to the medieval period between 1000 and 1400?

Assuming he is okay with his spot, the schedule for the day will look like this. This is the final opportunity for anyone to let me know if they had any plans discussed with Merri but have been left out. To people presenting: when it is your turn, I will allow you to share your screen. There is no need to send me any material beforehand. You are free to share any material on the forum before and/or after your presentation, as best suits your needs. I will record the whole event and post it to YouTube afterwards. You can also still let me know if you'd like the title of your presentation changed.

Rene tried emailing her, but so far without an answer. First of all, I really hope she is okay, and it is just work preventing her from following up on Voynich stuff. Either way, Voynich Manuscript Day is rapidly approaching, and I am still set to host it August 4th, from CEST 12:00pm-7:00pm. Just in case we are not able to reach Mary soon, I would like to schedule the events that will certainly happen. Since I was not involved too much in planning, I will need your help. Please respond to this thread if you are planning to do something for VM day.  Did you already get a time slot? And if not, what is your preferred time slot? (Please provide the time you will need to present your research/music/art etc. We can then add some extra time for Q&A and buffer). Do you know of any forum-external people that were committed and should be informed? We will figure out a schedule in this thread. I will do two presentations myself (one about a research topic, one about the State of the Voynich poll), which I will fit into whatever time is left.   Tabula medicine 1416-1425 Posted by: Bluetoes101 - 14-07-2024, 08:54 PM - Forum: Voynich Talk - No Replies I was looking at this manuscript (medical handbook) in the hope of images to help with another project, while flicking through I noticed some similarities in the writing with the VM I can't read Latin so maybe this is nothing of worth, but I thought there's no harm in sharing and seeing if it is of any use to anyone. Maybe JKP will like it for his handwriting collection (?) It seems to have a lot of different hands.

Written in an unknown script by an unknown author, the manuscript has no clearer purpose now than when it was rediscovered in 1912 by rare books dealer Wilfrid Voynich. The manuscript appears and disappears throughout history, from the library of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II to a secret sale of books in 1903 by the Society of Jesus in Rome. The book’s language has eluded decipherment, and its elaborate illustrations remain as baffling as they are beautiful.
