Ethel Voynich's botanical notebooks
#3
Thanks, Lisa, this is fascinating. I will refer directly to these books when I want to know which plant ID's have been proposed in the early days.

I am a bit confused about the relation between this notebook and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. on Rene's site. If I understand correctly, what you scanned should be in the column "ELV, Beinecke" (i.e. not the Grolier). It starts with Atropa Belladonna for f1v, where the scans and Rene's column agree. But for example about You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. it says "Very likely the purple butterbur (Petasites)", a plant which is not present in the table at all. Is the table simply incomplete, or is it based on another document altogether?
