Register or Login to view.I would be interested in the opinions of some of our Latin scholars since my Latin is very rudimentary, but in glancing through it I only saw a very small proportion of Latin words. The rest look a bit like Latin, but they are not, as far as I'm aware. But I am not an expert on this.
Like you, JKP, I saw few latin words.
I checked in my dictionnary some words : they don't exist.
I cheked also the text. I noticed errors.
i.e. the voynichese word "chey" is translated in two different ways.
On the folio You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. chey = cartus.
On the folio f83r, chey = circus
"f4v, beginning of the first paragraph (2nd line)
ol chey chy
una cartus atrus
f83r, text near drawings (8th line)
daiin ol dain chey ldalor
illi una illo circus mıllianura"
Neither the words cartus, nor atrus, millianura and many others are latin words
So, for these reasons, as Helmut Winckler, I conclude that is really not Latin.
