Alisa Gladyseva: Voynich manuscript is decoded

[aStobbart]

where she misreads the marginalia

Do we know what the marginalia says and in what language?

The month names (which is what the article is primarily about) are not ciphered and are in normal 15th-century script with common 15th-century abbreviations. Yes, we know what it says and I have done extensive research to figure out the language (the language is not hard to discern, it's the specific dialect that was not quite certain).

Gladyšheva misread them and added in letters that were NOT indicated by the abbreviation symbols (based on her theory about which language she thinks it is). She is not accustomed to reading medieval text. It is evident from her misinterpretations.

There is not much controversy about the month names among people who are familiar with medieval script and abbreviations. There are only one or two letters that are sometimes disputed and I have found examples that solidify the interpretation of one of those.

Yes, I know about the month names.. but she also writes about other marginalia, ("der muz del", and f17r). Her "medieval galician" translation of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is interesting:

The idea that someone in the past managed to decipher the VMs and left margin notes about its content is interesting
