RE: What is Alain Touwaide up to? - Aga Tentakulus - 21-09-2020 Memory ? RE: What is Alain Touwaide up to? - -JKP- - 21-09-2020 It is at least partially a morphological sorting.
But most of it looks like work-in-progress (laid out roughly but not fully sorted yet). The plant drawings are smiling for the camera. RE: What is Alain Touwaide up to? - Koen G - 22-09-2020 Apparently it's for a chapter of an oncoming book (!) about the Voynich. I asked for more info. René, maybe you know more about this? RE: What is Alain Touwaide up to? - DONJCH - 22-09-2020 Is he reading the piece of Voynichese text near his knee and sorting accordingly? RE: What is Alain Touwaide up to? - -JKP- - 22-09-2020 I just noticed that a basal-whorl pile is near his knee. RE: What is Alain Touwaide up to? - Koen G - 22-09-2020 So it will be a chapter of a whole book about the VM, but he cannot give more information. This probably implies that it's a book together with other authors? RE: What is Alain Touwaide up to? - ReneZ - 22-09-2020 I guess it's best just to wait and see.

So it will be a chapter of a whole book about the VM, but he cannot give more information. This probably implies that it's a book together with other authors? Sometimes this means... "The publisher has not committed to it yet which is why I'm doing some advance publicity to stir up some interest in the idea." And sometimes it means... "I don't have the idea fully worked out yet." It's possible there is a book contract, perhaps a collection of essays (Touwaide has been involved in compilations in the past), but this kind of subject matter (VMS) is harder to sell to a publisher, so perhaps nothing is firm yet.

RE: What is Alain Touwaide up to? - Koen G - 10-12-2020 Although I don't see how the VM would fit into this, so it's probably still something else. Quote:The medical literature of ancient Greece has been much studied during the 20th century, particularly from the 1970s on. In spite of this intense activity, the search for manuscripts still relies on the catalogue compiled in the early 1900s by a group of philologists led by the German historian of Greek philosophy and medicine Hermann Diels. However useful the so-called Diels has been and still is, it is now in need of a thorough revision. The present five-tome set is a first step in that direction. Tome 1 offers a reproduction of Diels’ catalogue with an index of the manuscripts. The following three tomes provide a reconstruction of the texts contained in the manuscripts listed in Diels on the basis of Diels’ catalogue. Proceeding as Diels did, these three tomes distinguish the manuscripts containing texts by (or attributed to) Hippocrates (tome 2), Galen (tome 3), and the other authors considered by Diels (tome 4). Tome 5 will list all the texts listed in Diels for each manuscript in the catalogue. The present work will be a reference for all scholars interested in Greek medical literature and manuscripts, in addition to historians of medicine, medical book, medical tradition, and medical culture. |
