Well I am very proud of that post, and there is nothing "incredible" about it. The possibility that Voynich could have seen the Carteggio, either in its repository... either the Villa Mondragone, or the Villa Torlonia in Castel Gandolfo, is based on your very own research, in your very own words! So if you disagree this is possible, you might need to argue with yourself, not me. And, I do give you credit. I won't repeat all that, here, anyone is encouraged to read You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., and make up their own minds about it. But whether or not one thinks this is what actually happened, it is factually possible, based on your research, plus the research and writings others, including my own.

   

By the way, in that cartoon one might notice I have a copy of De Sepi on the table. I did because it is considered the place Voynich learned of the Kircher Carteggio in the first place, as it is listed and described in that book, and he is known to have owned it. In any case, since drawing that, I purchased a facsimile of the book ($$ouch!$$$- but it is MAGNIFICENT!) with English translations (of the proper Latin) at the back... and in reading and looking through this work, I think it may answer many other points about the Voynich, and explain various features about it, and the backstory. I mean, I don't think the reference to the Kircher Carteggio is the only "tip" Voynich derived from this work... I think it may have been influential in several other ways.
