David Jackson and Helmut Winkler:
You both seem pretty sure of your translations but they are not the same. It would be great to see some consensus!
As I posted, Stephanus Reway appears to have been a small-time Hungarian ruler, not a singer. So I'm really puzzled by all these musical references... was he once a choir boy or something?
Side note: I find it really discouraging that even a non-cipher, plainly written text from the Renaissance could be so hard to figure out... makes me despair at the odds for someone to ever solve the Voynich TBH!

I'm pretty sure the reference is to a songwriter, as opposed to a singer. I needed to figure out the handwriting to get the "author" part right, but that would mean songwriter.

Many people named their children after rulers. There may be more than one Stephanus Reway or it could be a relative, since names were passed down through families.
