[Talk] Upcoming VMS lecture in NYC

[Linda]

Lisa Fagin Davis statements:

- Four different hands are said to have been involved in the making of this manuscript.
- The VMS does not contain a secret writing, but a phonetic transcription of sounds instead of letters

Hmmm. 

First one sounds reasonable, i don't know much about it but have seen examples of several hands.

Second one, though, must mean they know what the sounds are and what they say, and therefore what language it is, otherwise it is as much a guess as anything else?
