For instance it is necessary that a theory is consistent in itself and with the known facts. A theory must also be falsifiable. With other words there must be statements that can disprove the theory.

It might be interesting that this year a course at the university of cologne was given. In this course several Voynich theories were validated (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.):
- You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (Gibbs, Bax, Montemurro, Cheshire)
- You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (Hauer/Kondrack, Hermes)
- You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (Rugg, Timm)
Note: I would suggest to split this thread and to start a new thread about the validation of theories.
If there is one theory that stands out as being most likely, I reckon it's probably the Torsten Timm autocopy theory.
On another note, Reference 2, so much space devoted to the Cheshire theory?
