This is one of the most recurring topics in the forum
If I say that the VM script has unknown glyphs or characters is because that is the expression Georgius Baresch uses twice in his letter to Kircher in 1639.
I have to confess that one of the things that surprises me the most since I started researching the VM is how little ancient testimonies are taken into account. We can take it for granted that in the more than 50 years that the VM was in Prague it was seen by dozens of learned men.
Why don't we have any testimony that the VM glyphs are bases on Latin, Greek or any other known language?
Didn't all those wise men at the court of Emperor Rodolfo know the scribal conventions?
