Revisiting A Voynich Prize

[zachary.kaelan]

This is interesting, what would you expect to find using new scans or carbon dating?

Scans on the pages adjacent to the missing folios, to try and reveal imprints of what was on those folios. Knowing what was used for those missing zodiac symbols could help us narrow down the where and when of the manuscript, for example.

Wladimir D. has a theory that quire 9 (folios 67/68) was taken from another manuscript. One of the carbon dating samples was taken from quire 9, and interestingly that sample happens to be off compared to the others. More samples of quire 9 and scribe 4's other contributions, as well as the bio/bathing section, and the final quire (recipes section) would be useful to investigate the possibility of the manuscript being a compilation of various sources.
