On the other, there is the point raised by Juan Jose Marcos, and similarly by Helmut here, that humanist writing was used by a limited circle of people, educated in medicine, theology, law, and with an interest in classical philology. This also seems in contradiction with the Voynich MS. ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. )
Hi ReneZ,
I read with great interest the work of M. Marcos.
I don't understand where is the contradiction.
Let's take the example of a doctor or an apothecary.
During the Middle Ages, both of them were familiars with plants, and there is a lot of plants in the Voynich manuscript.
In reality, I'm not 100% certain that these plants were used for drugs, medicines. Who knows ?
