Great read. Thank you for posting this, Stephen. I get the sense Prof Bowern really did her homework, and tried to be as informed and up to date as possible about the state of VMs research. And congrats to Koen and nablator for the citations! You guys have come up with two pretty interesting tools for analyzing Voynichese glyph placement at the levels of the line and the vord, repsectively, and I'm happy to see both of you getting the recognition you deserve for your work.
I keep hearing rumors, both here and on Nick Pelling's blog, that someone has attempted to execute Torsten Timm's self-citation method using low-tech methods, and failed to replicate his results. I consider my Google-fu fairly decent, as I find all kinds of obscure pieces of medical research and deals on medications for people all the time. But I was completely unable to find anything published substantiating even an attempt to replicate TT's method, to say nothing of any results.
