Further thoughts on medieval Italian as an underlying language of the Voynich manuscript; and specifically, a possible mapping between Italian suffixes and Voynich final glyphs.

Here are some thoughts on "wild cards" in the Voynich manuscript, and an experiment in mapping to medieval Italian.

Another experiment in mapping folio 26r, line 1 of the Voynich manuscript to medieval Italian. Here I calculated Italian letter frequencies on the basis of Dante's La Divina Commedia, edition of 1472.

I received alert that a Singapore-based person or bot has been harvesting posts on the Voynich manuscript. Have deleted Voynich-related posts on GoodReads/Amazon. Interested readers may contact me directly.

Why should this be relevant if someone in Singapore is collecting something on the VM?
And why did you delete something?
It all seems a bit strange to me.

Automated harvesting of posts could be a precursor to a plagiarized publication.

How would you even notice that someone is "harvesting" posts as opposed to reading them or downloading them to their kindle or whatever?
RE: Voynich Reconsidered - ReneZ - 30-07-2023
This sort of harvesting has been done before in many cases, so I dont doubt that this is going on again (or still).
All post to the old mailing list, for example, were stored in a web site with 'voynich monkeys' (or something similar) in its name. There used to be several places where you could buy a PDF printout of my web site. Probably still exists, and no, I was not the seller ;-)

Won't deleting the source make it harder to challenge any plagiarism?

This expression was used by the person who advised me of the traffic. Two researchers of the Voynich manuscript observed downloads of many of their posts from an IP in Singapore.
