is a new edition of the Voynich MS, entirely in German. It is a very high quality print, and the binding is certainly much nicer than the picture at the above link suggests. As far as I can tell, the page images are at 1:1 scale, not reduced as in the Watkins edition.

(I have no finiancial or other interests in this edition).

Klaus Schmeh introduces the new VMS - book in his blog. He mentions that the journalist Vera Pache tells the history of the manuscript in a detailed preface.

He himself discusses in the epilogue the countless decipherments resp. decipherment attempts of the text. He also mentions the attempts to interpret the text of the manuscript as a meaningless strings of characters. In particular, Torsten Timm's autocopist hypothesis is emphasized.

There are also some comments in the main part of the book.

Hi, all.
I see that there is a "Preferred Edition" listed, as well, that has not been released yet. Does anyone know how it is different?

Best, E

It is at least as good as the "original" in terms of quality. The format is smaller but it has, for example, a display of the respective folio position at the bottom of each page. In addition, it is divided into the familiar sections with short comments.
