[split] University of Vienna Voynich Manuscript seminar

[merrimacga]

This brings me to the following question: Pippal's students are supposed to explicitly contact experts ( "Presentation: Slides, integrated: an interview with an expert" ). But how can a novice judge if he / she is really dealing with someone who could be called an expert ? There are a lot of "experts" out there who only follow one theory, their own, and don't care much about background knowledge of the VMS. A student could easily fall for such people.

I saw that too but I would hope that Dr. Pippal plans to cover that with her students when she provides them the reading list during the semester, as she notes at the bottom of her course outline. And now she also has you as a resource for a list of experts in case she isn't providing them one and they ask.
