Calgary engineer believes he's cracked the mysterious Voynich Manuscript

[Ahmet Ardıç]

We know that in 1912 he handed over thousands of manuscripts to the British Museum at once.

I am sorry, but this is not true. This did not happen.

If you want to collaborate with people to find out the true history, you have to accept the information that they bring, also if this is contradicting your expectations or your theories.

That, by the way, is true for everyone here and outside, who are trying to find explanations.

Thanks for reminding. I was going to write 1902, I wrote 1912 by mistake. It was a mechanical error. I do it often because I have some kind of focusing problem. 

I guess you have explored this issue many times. You probably know more about the history of VMS than I do. I have read research articles on this subject, and we have given some of them references in our book. But I also researched the subject myself and I can say that I put together the missing pieces of the VMS puzzle in a slightly different way compared to yours.


You are one of those who wrote the historical events known today in Europe about VMS. On the other hand, I think I wrote about the unknown side and the wrong known aspects of the subject. Of course, mutual sharing of information is a good thing. In that way, if I'm making mistakes, I'll have a chance to fix it.


The catalog list book ("A First(-Ninth) list of books offered for sale". {With “A First list of books, second edition”, “A Supplement to the Eight list”, and “Index of books contained in List I-VI.”} London 1898-1902 / Author: Voynich, Wilfred Michael) presented to the British Museum in 1901, and British Museum agreed to have all of this listed MS and rear books in same year in 20-AU-1901. 
So The Museum and W. Voynich has agreement each other in 1901 sor sure.

Most likely, the museum management did not trust to W. Voynich and probably they suspected that the artifacts might be stolen. For this reason, they did not want W. Voynich's name to appear as the seller in the official contract. For this reason, they found it appropriate to register that works as donations to be accepted to the museum. In 1902, when they found people to buy the artifacts from Voynich and donate them to this museum, they completed that procedure.

Thus, on the September 1901 list book, they made a semi-formal agreement with W. Voynich in 1901, and they used the list book itself as the agreement protocol. But today, many researchers think that this museum reached an agreement in 1902.

Year 1902 is the date when the historical artifacts were officially delivered to the museum, but in reality the museum was willing to commitment to buy all of the artifacts in 20 AU 1901.

The museum sealed W. Voynich written list book as a sort of statement that the agreement was made in 1901. In other words, they were already agreed in 1901 about that museum would get all of listed Manuscripts that offered for sale by W. Voynich for sure.

I think small details can paint a different big picture for us.

With all respect,

Thank you
