This makes for a cocktail of delusion that's hard to cure.Hi, Koen, since it seems that I am the one who still refuse to believe that the VM language is Latin and am offering an alternative language, which was spoken in the region where many researchers believe the VM was created, I feel that your comment was directly aimed at me. I feel offended that you accusing me of delusion and nationalism. The fact that the author (or main author) I am proposing is German, should be a proof that I am not nationalistic. Besides, Austria was considered my mother's and my father's homeland, before Carniola became part of former Yugoslavia from which Slovenia separated in 1991. Now, that I am living in Canada, my national loyalty is further divided as my in-laws and grandchildren belong to various nationalities.
I am not delusional to see Slovenian words in the Voynich Manuscript and I am not using my own bias to confirm them. I found some of them even in the 10th century Slovenian writing, and even more in 16th century dictionaries and early Slovenian writing. I am comparing my transliteration to the LZ transliteration to avoid my personal bias in interpreting the letter-forms.
Since I know that any translation I would make at this stage would be rejected out right, I am working on the grammar to explain the peculiarity of the Voynich language, and on the vocabulary that would include the corresponding written Slovenian words in the same grammatical inflectional form that cannot be found in any dictionary. This means, that I have to read the medieval books and pick out the words, as well as many grammar books to find all the rules that explain the changes of the words from the medieval to contemporary.
I am willing to offer my material on Voynich to anyone who would be interested to examine it and see if it is really that nationalistic and delusional. The language should not be rejected, just because it is too difficult to research. I carefully research any theory that could potentially disqualify mine, and so far I did not find it. You might consider it an arrogance, or you might consider a possibility that I am on the right track. This is why I dedicated my seven years of research, not for money or glory.
For what is worth, I found many words in the VM that would confirm your spiritual interpretation. Keep on your research, but do not ignore the medieval mystics.
