The Voynich MS may have actually been mentioned a couple of times, but to speak with Basil Fawlty, Laura "got away with it all right".
In any case, Voynich (the man) is about as fascinating as the MS named after him, and I found it very interesting to learn how much of his book business has been preserved and can be reconstructed.
The main thing I got away from the presentation is that Voynich really did not have all that much true knowledge and expertise about old books and manuscripts.
I would be happy to hear the opinion of anyone else here who attended.
I am looking forward already to the publication of this work.
