Just because something is told to me does not make it the truth. There is no evidence that it’s a “modern fancy”. The historical record says redevelopment. It’s unknown. You don’t know. I don’t know.
As for mention of the Oak. Possibly down the line they could figure out where the ink came from based on area/type of oak. That’s all i was suggesting there. Not really that bizarre to mention.
I wanted for this thread to open up a conversation and to put this area on the radar since my translation, and Irish in general, is so quickly dismissed as a possibility. I wanted to discuss the Voynich in terms of environment, botany, climate as it coincides with the Burren. I strongly believe it should be considered a serious geographic possibility. The linguistic side, I’m already working on this outside of the forum, for a lot of these reasons coming up now again. This was just for me to provide more supporting, non-linguistic evidence.
This is not a welcoming forum. I’m an educator, so I just imagine a teen or someone younger looking at a forum like this, just being totally dissuaded from ever believing they could figure something like this out or even pursue linguistics as a study.
