Hm, a direct competitor to my theory that the SPS is a transcription of the Chinese materia medica Shennong Bencaojing...  Dodgy

Quote:Here’s what I suggest: ... To clarify, I do not mean it is a word-for-word copy - I am still on the team of the text as a cipher.

Have you got a digital transcription of those proposed sayings?  Can you compare the lengths (in number of words or letters) of those sayings to the lengths (in words or EVA characters) of the SPS?  Even if the latter is encrypted, the lengths should be proportional.  

All the best, --stolfi

Yes - I put together a quick image example attached. I'm hoping to have time soon to put together a full comparison. It seems most of the lengths of the starred Voynich paragraphs, or sentences, are a little longer - which gives me a lot of ideas about the direction to head in the cipher. In the meantime, all the links are in my blog post for the sources I have if anyone wants to help compare the Greek and Latin with the VM. If anyone has an Italian source for these sentences I would love to see it as well!
