The claimed Voynich page

[Fabrizio Salani]

Fabrizio, that replica of yours reminded me that, some 25 years ago, I too created a facsimile of a VMS page.   I am posting it here as an example of VMS-inspired "fan art", which is what I think your replica is.  Although yours was apparently made for aesthetic pleasure, while mine was for laughs.  



Thanks a million to Dana Scott for finding this file among my own files, after I had long searched in vain for it 

All the best, --stolfi

Thanks Jorge, your creation is very funny. However, allow me a couple of thoughts: since I found the parchment, I've searched for various reproductions of the manuscript and have found several, some of highly professional craftsmanship (like the Spanish one, which is completely faithful to the original), others purely for entertainment, completely reinterpreted for pure entertainment or as a demonstration of style and artistic skill (I've never seen anything of Italian origin, anyway). But what I found, after seeing the images from the research, I perceived even more as something unique, beyond these intentions. For example, if you want to create a fake, for any purpose, you have to invent a missing sheet and pass it off as a find, or create a completely reinterpreted sheet and present it as artistic proof. But in this case, what fun would there be in making an improved copy of the plant with minor changes to the text, for what fun? The parchment shows a purpose of realization that is still unknown to us and labeling it as "fun" seems to me the most convenient solution to say "I don't know what it is, therefore it's a joke."
I found BessAgritianin's research on this forum, "Foil14v- Acanthus Mollis Moravian Interpretation," interesting, regardless of its validity. She found connections to the Moravian language, explaining her studies, thanks to my parchment. What I'm trying to say is that I've always mistakenly assumed that whoever wrote it had converted some glyphs into the Latin alphabet because that's how they were interpreted. However, if the writer had been of Czech, Romanian, Greek, Albanian, Ukrainian, Russian, and other origins, their native language would certainly have influenced their copying and interpretation of some glyphs. This is a hypothesis I've never considered and, I suppose, cannot be ruled out.
A warm greeting.
