The Translation of The Voynich Manuscript: Folio 1r

[nightbadger]

I like the identification of f1v's plant as an olive tree, except I've seen such a suggestion made years ago by Darren Worley.

I dont know who that is. All of my work was independent of outside research. I intentionally did it that way because I did not want my work adulterated with outside influence.

It's always a bit suspicious when the reference list shows zero interest in previous Voynich research.

With both papers I'm still not quite sure if I understand how her system works. Some of here ideas don't look too crazy in isolation but it's a long step from those to her translating a whole page and somehow identifying an author. Also, gestalt perception is not the kind of term I would ever use in a context like this.

Why would I care about previous research when everyone else has been wrong?

It's also unclear why the olive tree in the beginning is presented like a herb with a single flower/fruit

I can easily answer that :-)
