New video: "Is the Voynich Manuscript fake?"

[Koen G]

I never delete any comments, Rich, do not falsely accuse me. Did it contain a link? Rene had one of his comments swallowed by YouTube because he linked to his website. I had to solve this by replying with the link myself.

The reason why I don't debate you directly is that I'm not prepared for that. To do your arguments justice, I would have to research and write a paper for every one, and the result would be a monograph that nobody would read. I made the video documenting my own insights:

- Any argument based on the moral compass of the medieval author is fiction
- Any argument based on the (lack of) meaning of the text is currently speculative.
- Everything points towards an early 15th century origin. We disagree on this, and you are welcome to post any arguments you like. I saw a number of large comments of yours pass by, did those disappear?

I'll just add that I have a very strong opinion about the relevance of botanists in assessing medieval manuscripts. I don't go to a florist to have my car fixed just because it has a flower drawn on the hood.
