possible indirect references to VMS

[ReneZ]

Has anyone found any indirect mentions of the VMS? Possibly someone mentioning a strange book with naked nymphs in it? Its possible someone saw it in the first 200 yrs and wrote about it?

Yes, but by their very nature it is not certain that these refer indeed to the Voynich MS.

It is important to remember that the MS would have been far less unusual to a 15th or 16th century viewer than it is now.

Then it was just an unreadable book. This made it less interesting rather than more (*).

Now it is the only book using this writing system, that the most powerful computers in the world cannot decode after 600 years. That makes it more interesting rather than less.
