[Article] The Voynich Manuscript, Dr Johannes Hartlieb and the Encipherment of Women’s Secrets

[bi3mw]

Very briefly, there is evidence that the bathing manuscript (a translation and expansion(?) of Hemmerlin's work) attributed to Johannes Hartlieb was likely actually done by Jordan Tömlinger, an attorney from a family of doctors, rather than by Hartlieb himself.

Thank you Michelle for the precise statement. I was not previously aware of Frank Fürbeth's work on the subject. The assertion in various articles on the net that Hartlieb translated Hemmerlin's work for Sigmund is therefore simply wrong. This must be taken into account when evaluating Hartlieb's portfolio in relation to the VMS.
