Quote:why the second column "b" doesn't match to firs column "b". or this is not "b"? maby its a number"3", and opposite first "d" is a number "2"
The second column contains Voynichese symbols, the writer tried to guess correspondence between those and Latin letters, in an attempt of deciphering the text as a plain substitution cipher.
The "h" in the first row looks very characteristically, I wonder whether the first row can be approximately dated according to the shapes of letters. I also wonder if this handwriting matches that of any known VMS owners. Is not this Sinapius' or Baresch's writing?
