[Article] Topic Modeling in the Voynich Manuscript

[Barbrey]

It's almost as if we can definitely say a) that the whole text used the same script, and b) that the same general structure of words is the same, but nothing beyond that. You could suggest that the Voynich is built from text in different languages but enciphered in the same way.

Thanks Emma May, I was wondering about this too, as I'm sure many have done: has someone (s) enciphered original source material possibly in different languages.  I would actually find this promising, particularly for those of us working on the images.  For instance I have tentatively identified one image that originally would have been accompanied by text in Old French. Others have made compelling cases for images that would have originally been accompanied by Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic and even Middle English text.  I'm not suggesting all of these were used, of course, but there were some educated polyglots in those days who knew many languages.  

So my question would be would that person have translated into one common language before enciphering?  And the answer given what you've said is likely not!  

But do correct me if I'm wrong, or if what I've said here seems highly unlikely to you.
