"written in the Bavarian language", middle of the 15th century.

A common thread in these German language swallowtail MSS is that their exact origin is unknown (and in one case believed to be Venetian) but the language is Bavarian. Maybe a lead?

Having a transcription file would allow to check the statistics of Bavarian vs. Voynich.
