You are asking for a kind of level or catalogue of which medieval manuscripts were already somehow "browsed" by all partipiciants of this forum here?
Why?
This is surely not done by "the swarm" systematically. Just a few people did this maybe category-wise, most are just picking 1 or 2 similiar pictures from the internet to "proove" their own theories -- which are never shared by anyone else.
I would not even suggest to watch (and believe) all Voynich Talk videos.
Voynich Manuscript shows just very few references to other scripts (beginning from this alphabet), nearly no religious symbols, but lots of vague similarities that are quite misleading.
Personally I doubt the chance of finding any "full-explaining" other script which is just waiting in some library for it's discovery -- it is better to stick to these few real-world references recognized already, but this does not mean VMS is a crazy fairytale book: we just do not know the signs given within it.
To find value in my inquiry, let’s assume for a second that someone finds value while looking at other manuscripts written about the same time/ballpark region to create a baseline , as they themselves are not a 1400’s scribe,-which puts them at risk of having a mismatched modern perception. I find value in looking at manuscripts so I can have a better gauge of what the average formatting zodiac wheels used or what was included when scribes wrote herbals, or even how a Latin mind thinks about words. Because even if it isn’t plain text Latin, chances are someone was comfortable with Latin at some point in the pipeline whether creator or scribe or both.
Sure lots of manuscripts are lost to time and many are not digitalized, but the mind that made the Voynich had at least some shared knowledge of the rest of the people. Hence a T/O map, a graphic organizer that modern minds wouldn’t even recognize let alone think to draw.
To my request- As I said before, I’m assuming that that if there’s not a running list, but I’ve seen lots of manuscripts be mentioned more than once and I would be naive to think many have not been looked over closely already.
I am just asking if there is a quick and easy way (that I am missing )where you can see where new manuscripts are being uploaded.
And if any researcher has some Strategies to share for manuscript viewing and tracking. Or maybe a favorite site.
Thanks,
A
