[split] The Zipf law and the Voynich Manuscript
#42
Note, Rene, that every time you use the word text, and you do so repeatedly in your previous post, you are assuming that we are dealing with a language, which is far from being demonstrated. I think it's better to use the word script, which is neutral.

How the script was generated may be an issue, but it's a secondary issue in my opinion, because educated people of the time wouldn't have needed the script to know the book was meaningful. They would have known how to interpret the imagery and make sense of it.
