The claimed Voynich page

[kckluge]

What I meant to ask is if the NSA scan is known to be Friedman's copy, i.e. a copy of Voynich's own photostats. These exist in several 'generations' of photocopying.

It is definitely a copy at some unknown number of generations of recopying: see the written annotation "Punch just this" at the top of p. 120 of the PDF (f67r1).

I'm not suggesting that scan as a potential source -- the FOIA release date rules it out -- I was only suggesting it as the only source I had access to representing the "Voynich's photostats" lineage of potentially accessible images pre-2004 scans.

(BTW, looking through the NSA Museum Library catalog (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) I noticed "DK 129-08 KRISCHER, JEFFREY THE VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT" -- while this paper is only of historican interest at this point, folks have been looking for a copy for years. I'll have to reach out to the curator from the Zoom call to see about the possibility of getting a copy -- unfortunately the museum is temporarily closed to the public :-<)
