Some ADHD research pathway caused me to run into Eleanora on Facebook and something she wrote there caused me to want to look at her solution. Her Voynich solution book has a "Look Inside" option at Amazon. (BTW: Thank you, Eleanora, for revising and condensing your work into a single volume. That's a great thing to do.)

Sorry, but, to me, this reads like all of the alphabet and dictionaries solutions that produce sort of meaningless abstract poetry via highly subjective choices to get to something that I seriously doubt that the author of the Voynich text system would have bothered to laboriously encode. But, I'm not a student of 15th C. manuscript content. Because of the "we can't read it" problem, I can't even make some "does this seem to fit in" assessment. I've seen a lot of solutions that produce results like this. Pardon my skepticism.
There's a place where I actually have some expertise. I've been fooled by my own pareidolia (pattern recognition, face of Jesus on a piece of toast) despite my psych. education. I studied fringe/quack science (perpetual motion, anti-gravity, Casimir effect) because my mother was vulnerable to anti-establishment medical claims. On the fringes, the rule is and must be "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." As a sincere researcher into some unusual things I received the message "Don't fool yourself. You are the easiest person to fool." That's a really profound point. James Randi became sad when dowsers would come try to collect his million-dollar prize. Most of the dowsers were sincere. None passed his very simple (standard science) randomized, double-bind tests. They were fooled by their subjectivity. We are not educated, by default, about the inevitable illusions, the cognitive/emotional blind spots that humans have. They are almost impossible to see, never mind compensate for. Real scientists fooled themselves with Polywater and Cold Fusion. I see Voynich researchers who have worked carefully for decades suddenly shift their attention to something that could not be true unless the simple substitution over a natural language hypothesis is true, and they don't notice the shift.
