Koen.
Just for the record, here is a list of the posts where I shared some of my research from the the first, exploratory, phase - that is, those which include mention of the 'containers' in the map or the 'leaf and root' section. Blogger always listed posts from most recent to earliest - one reason I switched to wordpress for most of the work I decided to share online after mid-2011.
Anchor, lotus and northern India, Findings 17/04/2012
Scenario 2: The Lakhmids and Seleucia-Ctesiphon (pt1) Findings, 19/12/2011
In my opinion..Pt 2, Findings, 19/12/2011
Dull stuff: Pros and cons. Unproven. Things to do.Findings (17/12/2011)
HOW old is this design!? Findings, 28/11/2011
Plant id: fol. 100v-ii ... Cycads (27/11/2011).
Note - for the historical record which is so badly muddled by fake and misleading attributions and so forth - it is necessary to document with accurate names and dates, whether of an honest researcher or a outright charlatan. With the 'Cycads' id, mine was the original mention of such a plant which is not native to western Europe. At that time, a certain 'Steve D' was picking up others' work as a 'new idea' and not only omitting mention of whose idea it was, but deliberately fudging the issue by announcing the 'new discovery' shortly after at Santacoloma's mailing list and then apparently re-assigning the new identification to another, randomly-chosen, folio. It was a period of high madness in Voynich studies, and the cycads were just one of perhaps as many as a dozen original conclusions of my own which created an enthusiastic, if inappropriate response in Steve D.
Note to moderators. Documenting any history requires accurate attribution to their source not only such things as plant ids but the works, writings and deeds of other Voynich-writers. Mentioning persons by name is the very stuff of history just as omitting specifics serves political agendas better than academic ones. It's called 'a censored record'.
