A good summation, and the Voynichese writing, of course, still remains uninterpreted. What it doesn't discuss is the last decade worth of investigation into the VMs illustrations. While it is true that a lot of botanical investigation has provided little progress, even a valid botanical identification provides no historical connection. That is not true, however, for a select set of illustrations derived from various investigations into specific examples from the VMs Astro, Zodiac, and Balneological sections. The reality of the VMs is built on these illustrations. Interpretation is based on knowing the same historical information <compatible with the first half of 15th C.> that the VMs artist knew and then *uniquely* represented. It starts with the VMs cosmos compared to the cosmic illustrations in BNF Fr. 565 and Harley 334.
