Register or Login to view.I think ideally we would have a list of genuine specialists in fields related to Voynich research that we could consult. These could be specialists in the history of astrology or the history of herbal manuscripts and other fields(I am open to suggestions).
Do consider the possibility that any specialist we list will also become a target for all theorists who see the list, each with a different theory and each more convinced than the last. So it might become a "list of people we'd like to turn away from Voynich research".
That would be the worst case scenario. However, experts do not have to deal with everything that is presented to them. I suspect that an expert will quickly recognize whether a question has been carefully worked out or not. Unfortunately, he/she could still be bothered by a flood of queries. One could only appeal to common sense and urge restraint.
