Thank you to everyone who posted additional information. I was not claiming that I had made some kind of significant discovery or that it was original or novel, it was just a striking similarity that I wanted to share.
JKP (and Helmut, Marco, and nablator), I'm curious, if we can identify pretty much almost every Voynich glyph with some kind of standard medieval Latin ms abbreviation or other symbol -- has anyone simply tried to interpret the Voynich ms by directly transcribing every glyph, combination, and word, into all of the Latin letters and combinations that they would represent, according to the standard rules as you describe them here?
Of course I'm sure someone has tried to do this in some way or another, and I'm sure it doesn't create intelligible text in any normal way. But it could still be an interesting exercise, we might learn something from it, and perhaps the "Latin" version of the text could be the basis for further investigation. Just a thought.
