Voynich theories and Voynich solutions

[ReneZ]

I think there's been a very theory-driven era in Voynich research, and the forum is slowly starting to break that down into the discussion of individual arguments, ideas, proposals... independent of who brings them forward.

I can't really confirm that.

Both things have co-existed for the last 10-15 years, and I can't remember a time when there were more theories about the origin and the possible authorship of the MS than right now.

Only in the earlier years of the original mailing list, people were more careful about stating opinions, and were generally more interested in text analysis than in formulating grand theories about this origin.
