Nicolas Raymond * The Voynich Manuscript and Nostradamus Connection

[bi3mw]

Hello boldfrontiers,
since I can't answer you under "Drafts", here is a general comment on your Nostradamus theory:

The radiocarbon dating of the manuscript's vellum places it between 1404 and 1438, and Nostradamus lived between 1503 and 1566. I am well aware of the apparent discrepancies.

In my opinion, this fact must be taken into account. It is more than unlikely that the parchment simply lay around for 100 years. After all, the production was paid for and it is simply obvious that it was provided with text in a timely manner. The (fold-out) folios alone speak for a "project-related" production, as special formats must have cost additional money. In addition, the client obviously had a clear idea of the layout (including the rosette page).
