The Modern Forgery Hypothesis

[nablator]

But the interesting thing to remember, if it was not the Villa Mondragone, would be that Wilfrid lied about the provenance not just two, but at least three times: "Castle in Southern Europe", "Austrian Castle", and now, "Villa Mondragone". And conversely, never told the truth about it, not once.

Did he ever name the Villa Mondragone?

Wikipedia insists he did, but there is no evidence AFAIK: "a mysterious manuscript he said he acquired in 1912 at the Villa Mondragone in Italy" -> You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

I tried to modify the article but it was reverted because there are many sources that mention Villa Mondragone...

Kraus was the one who named the Villa Mondragone, and this fact may be found in Tiltman's paper about the MS.

So, the Voynich MS was NOT at Villa Mondragone.
This was Kraus' guess based on the very limited information he had, and he guessed wrong.
