Register or Login to view.My only issue with the interpretation as some Romance language/dialect from the Pyrenees or even further west is that it complicates the history of the manuscript significantly and is at odds with most of the other information pointing to Northern Italy/Southern Germany/Augsburg/Prague, both for the manuscript's creation and the first appearances we know of.
Again, the "Northern Italy" clues only tell us that the Scribe(s) who actually wrote the text on the parchment and drew the illustrations was/were from Northern Italy. The "Southern Germany/Augsburg/Prague" clues only tell us about where the manuscript may have been ~200 years after that. The similarities of the Michitonese lines and month names to specific scripts and languages, like German or Latin charms, only tell us what language the person(s) who wrote those bits meant to write them in.
Those clues do no tell us anything about the Voynichese language and encoding, about the Author who gathered the sources and composed the text of the manuscript, or about where he was when he did that.
Those clues also do not tell us anything about the Michitoner who wrote the Michitonese lines, about the Monther who wrote the month names, or about where those persons were at the time they did those things.
All the best, --jorge
