We know he did, he is known for that. And in this case he admits to knowing about Barschius! Where from, but the same book, Philosophia Vetus Restituta, of course. Why is that so a problem? It actually supports my contention, that he had this information, and used it.
So here I have a problem.
And this problem is: I strongly suspect that you are aware that what you are saying is not supported by the evidence. And I strongly suspect that you are aware of this evidence. But the people reading here are not.
That this supposedly supports your contention is just a smoke screen.
He had his people research the Bohemian history after he got the MS and the Marci letter. Years after.
Garland told him about Tepenec and Marci, while miss Howe found the reference in Philosophia Vetus Restituta. That was in 1921.
I am sure that you know that.
The only thing that supports your contention, is your own contention (not supported by any evidence) that he did not first find out in 1921, but already knew in, say, 1911.
We know what Voynich was doing in 1911-1912, with respect to Strickland and the Jesuits. He was securing a deal that would make him millions of dollars (in modern equivalent), and he was successful.
When the Vatican was approached by the Jesuits, they already had Voynich's bid for the lot. And the single most valuable MS had already passed through his hands and was on its way to Hungary, only to be sold to a wealthy New York banker for even more money than expected.
Now you also wrote:
Quote:just like you, and Fletcher, and any one of dozens of people with access to the letters, Voynich did research, too.
Fortunately, that's an easy one. Voynich never in his life had access to the letters.
With respect to my problem mentioned above, I will not be provoked any further.
