Historically significant events in Europe between 1404 and 1438

[Mark Knowles]

I tend to say "made in Europe" to avoid this ambiguity. With a seemingly scientific manuscript, there is always the possibility that its contents have Arabic influences for example.

I agree you are right. When I wrote European in origin I meant "made in Europe". Strictly speaking the origin of all matter in the universe was in the Big Bang and therefore that was the origin of all matter in the Voynich and so the Voynich itself. However that was not what I was hinting at.

I suppose it could be argued as to what constitutes "Europe". Does one designate Europe to be west of the Ural mountains and north of the Caucasus?

Of course one can analyse what exactly I meant by an "event" and also "significant".

I don't want to analyse the starting question in detail, but would appreciate if people exercise reasonable sense and to what the thrust of the question is pointing at. Everything could get very "meta" and focus on analysing the question as supposed to the subject of the question. I could when I raised the question included a list of disclaimers to handle all objections to the question, but I thought this would be excessive even though I anticipated these kinds of complaints.
