[Blog Post] Some conclusions drawn from twelve years of studying the Voynich manuscript.

I find the stray t on 116v interesting. It remains visible in some IR02 images, when most of the ink is already transparent. I think I'll try running linear regression on it.

Edit: however, after comparing 116v and 116r I think it's possible this image of t is a combination of a couple of vertical vellum defects or scratches and two loops from 116r.

Yes, it seems to be almost certainly bleedthrough from 116r, which can be seen nicely with one of the MSI images. There does seem to be a vertical deformity (the light area) running between the two loops, which is probably why it looks like the vertical lines from t.
