Writing papers about the Voynich MS

[-JKP-]

As far as Curse goes, it turns out that doing all the rights clearance for an ebook is very much more complicated (and expensive) than for a normal book. :-(

14 years on, there's the added complication that my judgements and opinions on many aspects of the evidence have shifted. And how heavily should I revise it?

This sounds kind of awful, but I haven't read Curse and I have only read about 10% of your blogs (maybe less) even though the ones I have read are good reads. My apologies for that but I am always burning the candle at both ends and I am woefully behind in writing up my own research (years behind). But even my limited acquaintance with your writings is enough to see that you are very quick to grasp concepts and picked up on aspects of the VMS that some people don't 'get' even after years of study.

I think, with the VMS, it is inevitable that opinions will shift (if they don't shift, something is probably wrong). It takes time to learn so many subjects and also considerable time to learn how people thought and perceived the world in the Middle Ages.

I don't know the ins and outs of publishing an eBook (I have never done it) but whatever you end up doing, I wish you well.
