[Conference] Voynich conference!

[MichelleL11]

Has anyone gotten the links to the conference videos?  If not, is there a estimate of when the links will be available?  

I sent an e-mails to the general conference e-mail and Colin Layfield and didn't get a response.

I was quite busy at work so was only able to watch the beginning presentations in real time.

I'd like to be able to watch the rest of the presentations with some of my holiday time off.

Thanks for any info that is available.

Has anyone gotten the links to the conference videos? 

Or are the papers yet available for download?

Michelle: Any news on the Keagan Brewer cipher(s)? If that paper or video were available I would be particularly interested in seeing it.

The proceedings are being reviewed and will be posted online in the coming months. It takes some time...

It's absolutely fantastic that the conference proceedings have been published and I'm sure that was an enormous amount of work.

I wanted to mention again the links to the presentations that were indicated would be available.  

Any timing on that?  Now especially that the papers are available, I really would appreciate the ability to watch the presentations.

This is like a sneak preview.
The official release follows in the next days.

I have read carefully the article by Koen Gheuens and Cary Rapaport on Voynich Canopies and tents as a recurring motif in the codex. It is the only contribution dedicated to imagery and in my opinion it is impossible to know what the Voynich is without first interpreting it iconographically.

I highly recommend reading this article because it is very suggestive. I share the authors' belief that the motif of the tents is a metaphor for the sky. They give several reasons why this symbolism occurred in the Middle Ages but they do not mention the one that is conclusive for me: that the stars form the last circle of the sky and that therefore they are the roof of the sky.

I think this article will help to understand what the female figures of Quire 13 are: obviously the stars that come down from the sky.

Everyone, these are not the final versions of the papers! We are still proofreading them, and the link was not to have been made public until tomorrow or the day after. My paper has several typographical errors that are being corrected, so please wait until we formally announce the proceedings to take a look!

Hi, everyone, 

The Proceedings are now complete, vetted, proofread, and have been published online here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

With MAJOR thanks to Colin Layfield for not only organizing the conference but faciltating the open access publication of papers. And congratulations to all of the speakers!

Hi all. It's great having access to the papers. Are the videos available? I couldn't attend live due to timezone differences, and I was hoping to watch the videos at some point. The conference site had said they would be made available afterwards, so I was just wondering if that was still the plan.
