I will make different posts for different topics on here and hopefully it develops into a conversation.
I first suspected the Cliffs of Moher after I translated the small label on 65r as "Beeswing tight oil". When searching for images to include for Beeswing on my Github, I noticed a lot of the Beeswing that came up looked more like more like Dahlia, or Little Beeswing until I saw Beeswing specific to the Cliffs of Moher. I made a TikTok a while back about this.
The other day in the Marginalia thread on VoynichNinja, this small stamp/script came up and I didn't read it as Latin, I read it as Irish:
Moher (Mhothair) Cliffs (aillte) along with the word Tuig (understand), Tuin (Tone, Accent) or Tuinn (Wave).
I am not a historian or paleographer but I found some scripts from the same time period to compare.
Several plants I've identified through translation alone, are native and/or specific to The Burren. (However some are still more common in a other areas like Crete and Portugal)
An abundance of environmental textual evidence along with a few mythical creatures/themes/stories coincide with the region as well.
I'll include these in a separate posts so this stays organized.
