Voynichese's letters

[Jorge_Stolfi]

My question is, is there a possibility that the cipher of the manuscript is based on numbers (in particular, Roman ones)?

The structure of the Voynichese "words" and their length distribution of the lengths do suggest that the text is a codebook cypher, with numbers written in a Roman-like notation.

But I don't put much probability in that idea, because such ciphers are too hard to write and read.  

All the best, --stolfi
