RE: Can statistics help crack the mysterious Voynich manuscript? - nickpelling - 24-08-2021
Again, that wasn't even remotely what I was posting about. The fifteenth century saw the tail-end (if you'll excuse the pun) of Tironian-style abbreviation use, but modern shorthand systems (Bright et al) were still a century away.
What filled the gap between the two were local contraction/abbreviating shorthand systems, and that is the corpus that nobody has put together that I'm forever looking for.
Aggressive contraction/abbreviation has - when combined with verbose cipher - many, many of the features of Voynichese. However, the primary writing surface for tachygraphic note-taking was the wax tablet, so we're very short of practical examples. :-(

For those interested in Cappelli's abbreviations, here is a link to the dictionary.

This is a really good interview.
Anyone new to the Voynich rabbithole will benefit greatly from reading it. I think Claire & co is doing a really good job!

La statistica non è utile per decifrare il manoscritto
