A possible source for the "modern italian copy"

[ReneZ]

Being involved in the making of this documentary was a fascinating experience.
The producers were extremely motivated people who never stopped having new ideas.

Of course, Voynich-wise, I tried to steer them a bit (especially away from Paracelsus and
Thurneisser, their target heroes), but that was very difficult. Anyway, the carbon dating
result had the desired effect of moving them into the right century :-)

TV is really meant for the masses, and not for a select audience. That's why the select
audience of 'people who are already very familiar with the MS' inevitably find issues with
the result.

For me, this rotating zodiac page was 'Spielerei' (how do you say that in English?) and
pretty harmless.

It's amazing that they managed to get the radio-carbon dating and other tests done, and
they were also the ones finding the Tepenec signature in the Aristotle book (the one that
really looks very much like the one in the Voynich MS).
