[Article] Cheshire at it again: "Palaeographic Instruction for the Ischia Manuscript"

[Stephen Carlson]

To be fair to Gerard he has not as yet made much effort to publicise this paper and I feel that sometimes his writings draw more attention here than they actually merit. It seems that sometimes there is nothing more attractive to some people than having a new theory to trash.

JKP ably points out the technical problems. I'm still struck by his mildly obfuscatory avoidance of the term "Voynich" in refering to the manuscript. It is almost like he does not want VM researchers to read it. And yet he publishes in places like Lingbuzz where linguists are. Perhaps he's looking for readers he thinks would not be biased against him, but I don't think bias is really the problem he's having.
