The document attached to this post provides a unified presentation of my Middle English interpretation of the last 7 lines of text on folio page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and the first 3 lines of text on the following folio page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. , followed by a modern English translation of these 10 lines of text.
This is not intended to be a complete presentation of my theory, methods, correspondences, the Yorkist cipher rules, Yorkist cipher letter values, etc. All of that other information can be found in the previous draft paper document I uploaded recently in this thread above, as well as throughout my many posts in this thread to date. This is simply a summary of what 10 consecutive lines of Middle English text on these pages of the Voynich MS look like and read like, according to my theory, reading, and interpretation.
I claim that this interpretation of these 10 consecutive lines of text represents meaningful, grammatical Middle English text, and moreover it represents historically relevant text expressing the viewpoint of the Duke of York and/or a member, adherent, or ally of the House of York in England in 1404-1406: virulently hostile opposition to the reign of the first Lancastrian king Henry IV (Bolingbroke). If you can read and understand these lines of text, it is easy to understand why such text had to be carefully hidden in the form of such an obscure cipher. If the meaning of the text in the attached document had been discovered in the early 15th century rather than in the early 21st century, its author or authors surely would have been executed for treason.
I am curious about the "missing" folio pages You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. through You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. . Perhaps they also contained additional treasonous material that the author or authors feared was too easily identifiable as such, and thus the author or authors (probably wisely) removed and destroyed those folio pages?
