Could the moderators consider a separate thread devoted to sources for the history of Voynich studies? Say... 1912- 2012?
For example,
At the moment I have two questions which relate to past writings:
1). Anyone know what has happened to Brigadier Tiltman's paper about the manuscript. ( used to be at the NSA website as a pdf).
2) I'm trying to find the point where doubt was first cast on Wilfrid's description of the text as in cipher. Following through Jim Reeds' Bibliography (here), it looks to me as if either Tiltman and Friedman began to have doubts very late in their involvement (though Nick Pelling disputes my reading of that passage), or that perhaps Jorge Stolfi's linguistic and statistical analysis really broke the model of beliefs till then.
Access to primary sources and documents is all that's needed for a thread about the study's history. A cut-off at 2012 would be neat, and would make clear the line between the history of the study and current thinking.
Thanks.
