[Conference] Voynich conference!

[MichelleL11]

There is a possibly interesting cipher that Keagan Brewer has found. I would be interested in seeing what it is.

Hi, Mark:

Can you describe more about the one you’re interested in?  I can get the details for you.  None of the ciphers were by Johannes Hartlieb, unfortunately.

If the fully ciphered recipes from Northern Italy are what you’re thinking of, l can get you the citation.  We do not know the scribe/author but putative location and time is based on paleography work done in the early 20th century and nothing we’ve found contradicts that.  I’ve also submitted an abstract about that specific decipherment to a general recipe conference that’s being held next year.  The deadline isn’t until December 1 but the initial feedback was positive so we are very hopeful for a future presentation and publication (it does not mention the Voynich aspect).

Thanks,

Michelle
