External text lookup

[ReneZ]

I was wondering if anyone had explored the idea that Voynichese words are a code for looking up other words from a different text such as the bible. I would guess this has been thought about.

See for example here:

This type of cipher is only conceivable in the presence of reasonably easily available printed books, i.e. well after the creation of the Voynich MS.

In fact, the authors quoted in the above web page (Leighton and Matyas) write You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. that the first evidence of this dates to 1526.
