What is actually the Tironian shorthand hypothesis?

You suggest that Voynich Manuscript is written in Tironian notes? Or something like Tironian notes?

I'm asking because it doesn't look like Tironian notes at all.

For comparison, here is a psalm written in Tironian notes. I hope we agree that Voynich doesn't look like that.

The "Tironian" label is often just a shorthand way for researchers to say: "It's a system of abbreviations that we don't have the key for yet."

The core idea : The manuscript could not be a linguistic text, but a condensed technical script. Much like Tironian notes or medieval [i]ars memoriae, the characters function as 'keys' to trigger specific technical knowledge in the mind of the practitioner, rather than phonetic letters forming a spoken language.

I just saying "I'm working on this and hope it could work" please review my start, no offense Wink[/i]
