What I don't understand, or am I making a mistake in my thinking:
If I can translate large parts of a recipe book in shorthand back using the Voynich alphabet, why should Voynich be a hoax?
Even if the result is not really Voynich in its original version because I use different ligatures and brevigraphs? But it is the same game...
At least you can see that the Voynich alphabet can work as it is. Here's a quick and dirty version of the third line (because it's the longest) of the recipe...
pectoris ac pulmonum dolores succus expressus bibe superpone.
ps tmac plinoy tschy empr chus dide srp oye
(and now i undestand why the spaces are not the end of a word)
pec = ps(s.b)
t=t
ris= m (s.b.) (rm
pstm
ac = ac
pl= pl' (pul)
mon = ino
y= um
= plinoy
Dolores = t
S = s
u= ignored
ch=cc
us= y
= schy
ex = em (s.b.)
pr= pR
essus = ccy
=empRchus
bibe = d = b also dide
Sr = super
pone = poye
= srpoye
And if I wrote it myself, I can recognize it easily.
