Voynich is encrypted ENOCH

[Jorge_Stolfi]

If I can convince others that the VMS are 1 and 2 Enoch and the date of the VMS is valid, then the author must have had the books of Enoch available in the 15th century.

When we say that a book was "lost" in some epoch, what we mean is that all the [European] scholars at that time who mentioned that book in their surviving writings stated that they had never seen a copy and did not know whether any copy existed.

So copies of a "lost" book may have in fact have existed, just were just not available to the broad scholar community for one reason or another.  I gather that several books that were thought to have been lost since the Middle Ages were discovered in the past century, sitting in libraries in Europe itself.

So it is not impossible that the VMS Author had a copy of the Book of Enoch ultimately derived from a surviving Jewish copy, or from the Ethiopian version -- and just did not mention that to other scholars who would have been interested in it.

All the best, --stolfi.
