[Talk] Alain Touwaide - Villa Mondragone - 14 Oct. 2019

[ReneZ]

One should distinguish between those remarks made by Alain Touwaide that are in his field of specialisation, and those that are not clearly within. Other specialists have made observations in their own field and it is by combining the best of all worlds that one can improve one's understanding of the MS.

Alain is not really interested in the text, and his conclusion that the MS is not a 'serious medical MS' but like a parody of one, is based on the herbal illustrations. This is something that one has to take seriously in my opinion. The forensic dating should be left to those specialists, and the palaeography to others.

Even if the MS may be a 'fake', that doesn't mean that it's a modern fake.
I already opened a thread about that recently: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.  .

There is a large amount of real evidence that the MS is a genuine product of the late middle ages.
See the main link I provided in that thread.

There is no evidence that the MS was faked by, or on behalf of Voynich. There are only suspicions and speculation. Anyone who cares to read up on all the related information will realise that it is in fact impossible.
