[Panel Session] Voynich Paleography lecture

[LisaFaginDavis]

Thanks! I'm not a linguist and I am not a cryptologist, so I am completely unqualified to comment on Voynichese as a linguistic or even symbolic system. But if there were five different people who wrote the manuscript (and my results may very well be refined as time goes on) then there were indeed at least five people for whom the glyphset had some kind of significance.

A very large percentage of medieval documents did not survive the Middle Ages, so even if there was secondary documentation having something to do with the creation of the VMS, it would not necessarily have survived.
