observations made to date on the manuscript Humanistic Writing

[LisaFaginDavis]

The characters in Voynichese have much more in common with Italian Humanistic script than with Gothic cursive. Huntington Library HM 58316 is a good analogue, available online here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Some of the analogous characters include:

HM   EVA
a         a
c          e
m         iin
n          in
o         o  
4        q
8        d
9        y

I discuss this in this video from the Malta conference, starting at 5:50:

This is NOT to argue that the Voynich must have been written in early fifteenth-cetury Italy, only that it MIGHT have been.
