I have linked to Google Drive. If someone can upload a backup to Ninja that would be great.

I have not yet completed a write-up of my analysis which would greatly help illuminate my thinking, but after uploading my small plant image matching work for which there has been a lot more interest than I expected I thought I would upload this too.
There are so many details that I think that it is impossible that they are all correct, however I don't think this precludes the analysis as being broadly accurate.
Whether one thinks my theory has any truth to it or not, I believe it serves as a challenge to the explain specific details of the Rosettes page. From the theories that I am aware of it is the most detailed I have seen.
To understand the theory best ideally one needs to understand how the theory was formed and the order it which it developed. It started with Nick Pellings identification of top right Rosette as representing Milan and continued to develop in a very roughly anticlockwise manner.
The theory, if correct, has strong Authorship implications and explains many of both the Italian and German influences on the Voynich, even though the German influences were unknown to me at the time of the development of the theory.
For me a key an overwhelming supporting piece of evidence discovered subsequently was that the supposed author brothers turned out to be writing the most advanced ciphers of the time in the world.(I think it highly probable that the Voynich was written in conjunction with those brothers). To use the time honoured phrase, I question whether it can be a coincidence, that my "map" analysis would predict the author of the manuscript to be the Abbot of a minor rural Abbey who subsequently it turns out was closely related to the most advanced cryptographers of the time of the Voynich, whose ciphers show features not seen in later ciphers.
I will be writing a paper this year on these ciphers.
