[Conference] Voynich presentation at Oxford Medieval Graduate Conference
#3
Thanks for linking to this Koen Gh!
I'm really looking forward to it. A look at her bio shows she graduated from Yale in 2009, so was there for four years prior to that, and I'd be willing to bet that a student of art history with a special interest in medieval manuscripts would have known about the world-famous MS in her uni library, so it's possible she could have had an interest in the Voynich for a good decade.
So I don't think it should be assumed that she is a Voynich newbie, or that although she may not be a participant in the online conversation, she hasn't been lurking on forums or subscribed to the list etc.
 I think this presentation may do some good, because it helps to bring the study of the Voynich out of the "x-files" ghetto and into the realm of things that are an object of normal academic study. And the more such analyses by qualified specialists exist and are available to the online Voynich community, the better.
