How many people could have written the Voynich?

When you say that Nicholas Kempf wrote in a language which has not been written down, what exactly do you mean?

For all practical purposes, Slovenian language was not written down in Latin script, except for a two 3-page documents containing a prayers. Either Glagolitic Old Church Slavonic, or Latin was used in Slovenian liturgical books. Nicholas Kempt was a proponent of vernacular languages in liturgy. In other words, Slovenian language was known, was different from Croatian and German, but was not used in Latin written form.

I did not say the author was not religious; I said he was at odds with the Catholic Church, like Jan Hus, who was burned at the stake. There are plenty of religious symbols in the VM, and plenty of religious words. I believe the main critical religious messages are expressed with pictures.

As I said, at the time VM was written, the Carthusian monks had built an open swimming pool with a thermal water for public baths and healing. The hot spring is still there and the hotel is still a health resort.
