Voynich Glyphs in other manuscripts

[davidma]

It would be interesting to see which has more symbols in common with the Voynich manuscript the abbreviations found in Cappelli or the symbols found in 15th century Milanese cipher keys.

I find it really interesting that Cappelli has the Voynichese "Q" as an abbreviation with a specific regional provenance (Lombardy). It is the only Voynich letter to my knowledge that has a specific regional origin (at least according to Cappelli). This and the very circumstantial evidence that whoever wrote the VM and illustrated it knew about swallowtail merlons, central European fashion, makes me wonder if the scribes or whoever designed the alphabet was at least familiar with Lombard encipherment practices.
