Is the Voynich a renaissance work?

[Mark Knowles]

Okay, let me start in maybe naive way 

This is Renaissance art - realistic people and full 3D perspective:


Voynich art is nothing like that and is more similar to Medieval art.

What is your answer?

Well, I don't see the Voynich as a work of renaissance painting. I suppose that the renaissance can be seen in much broader terms. Perhaps, I view it more in terms of emerging renaissance science. Of course, the 3D renaissance art techniques developed out renaissance science as well.

Well, the early Renaissance in Italy is generally dated from 1420 onwards. So it's a question of definition.

Very much so. Different people will give different definitions of the start of the renaissance. And obviously drawing a firm line between the Medieval and renaissance periods is arbitrary.
