Voynichese is a numeric cipher?

[quote="ololololo" pid='85246' dateline='1780528254']During my independent study of the Voynich manuscript, I came to the conclusion that Voynich is most likely a cipher based on numbers.

As I wrote on the other thread, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., but I think is not true because it would be too impractical.  Besides, I am now convinced that I found the "solution", and it is totally different.

Rotate the red symbols 90 degrees to the left, and you will get the Roman numeral 102. [quote]

Oh, thank you! Please, let me ask you about your solution, it sounds unexpected.
As for the red symbol, it's just a coincidence that I noticed.
I also agree with your opinion that it would be too complicated and impractical. But! It is possible that Voynich's cipher is simpler than we think. It is also possible that the encryption process was done in stages, with a simple substitution or number-based encryption at the beginning, followed by an additional algorithm (such as sorting the numbers in descending order). Perhaps it's not a nomenclature at all, but something else based on numbers (given the amount of work and resources involved, the encryption algorithm should be relatively simple).
However, again, I would note that the Voynich manuscript is a product of collective work, and it is possible that the scribes knew how this cipher works. Working individually on the same book, they could generally encrypt it even using a nomenclator without much difficulty.
(What is quite interesting is that the amount of work done by the supposed scribe B, who wrote part of the botany, all of the balneology, part of the pharmacy, and part of the prescription section, is much greater than that of scribe A and C, who wrote the diagrams. Apparently, he was really willing to do this).
