The Modern Forgery Hypothesis

[proto57]

Yes, the genuine 15th manuscript theory is the default, but that doesn't make it unchallengable. For example, the continents always remaining in the same place used to be the default and the man who promoted continental drift (I forgot his name now) was ridiculed, then plate tectonics were discovered, after which, continental drift became the default which it still is.

And in this case, and I believe this is Mr. SantaColoma's (I apologize in advance if I got his title wrong) point, I think the genuine 15th manuscript theory is unduly defualt, because it rests on shaky evidence. So as such, rather than the default, it itself should be considered still just a hypothesis on the same level as the early 20th century forgery hypothesis and the 17th century forgery hypothesis.

Thank you Battler, well stated. And to make it clear, I would not want mine, nor anyone else's hypothesis to be considered the "default", until we do know what it is.

And given that at least two known forgeris had at the very least passed through Voynich's hands, it, in conjuction with all the other evidence presented by Mr. SantaColoma, in my opinion, makes Voynich, and anything Voynich ever claimed, suspicious.

I am aware of the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., but can't for the moment think of the other one you are referring to. Maybe my brain is just tired. What other forgery do you mean? I have several other suspects, and so I'm wondering if one or both of the ones you are referring to are on my list...

Personally, I doubt Richard SantaColoma is real. I never met him and I suspect he is just a character dreamt up by a mischievous cabal conspiring to waste people's time on the internet. And I ask you, if you think that you have met him, whether it was the real Mr. SantaColoma or an imposter and how can you be sure which it was. Can you prove it? I would also observe that "asteckley" seems to pop into the conversation in line with Mr. SantaColoma, maybe the cabal are responsible for producing this commenter.

I can prove it... my parchment was dated, and it matches my content. Old.
