If there's one advantage that comes with age, it's that you lose your fear of ridicule, and above all, that you have your own ideas. You respect knowledge, but there are no longer any authorities.
As a librarian at the National Library of Spain, when I was active, I saw many medieval manuscripts. That gives you a certain amount of knowledge, but above all, what you learn is that the past is like stepping into a foreign country. The way of seeing the world was so different at that time!
The impression I often get when reading interpretations of the Voynich is that they don't penetrate the mentality of the past. It all sounds very current to me, very much of our time. I'm the only member of this forum who thinks the Voynich has no balneological or biological section, that it's all astrology. I may never convince anyone, but it's worth a try because this codex is authentic and had meaning for the humanity of its time.
