Hello Rene,
My latest posts here are not part of any systematic work, but rather ad-hoc attempts to grab a trace of idea of what might be going on there in the VMS (supposing a ciphering technique is in place). Moreover, as Koen correctly pointed above, there are text characteristics of the Voynichese that are not addressed at all by my examples. However, they are not intended to mimic the Voynichese completely . What these examples show is that one does not need a verbose cipher (in the strict sense of the word) to lower entropies (which is something that was disputed earlier in this forum). That's actually their main focus. When an idea of some transform visits me, I write a script in Matlab to encipher a text chunk and see what it yields. More of a fun.
Thx for the link, that's not a quick read, will need some time to provide comments, if any.
