I must say I felt a bit confused; she comes across as intelligent and well-informed, speaks fluently and clearly. But her theory just checks all the boxes of bad Voynich theories - as nablator and Tavi explained. Also she invents a Celtic parent for de Pizan, which exemplifies how fictional this whole thing is.
I'm curious, what do you think of her explanation for low entropy and the decoding framework she came up with (from the 39-50 min mark in the video)? Correct me if I'm wrong, would that still be considered a substitution cipher? If she's saying the symbols represent phonetic sounds and "fadas"/accent marks, and the grouping of the symbols changes their meaning?
