The herbal section of the Voynich Manuscript is the historical part.

You'd have to be remarkably blinded by the urge to take a jab at someone to not even check who actually wrote "ab ovo" and instead reflexively attribute it to the wrong person. It was Jorge Stolfi who used the expression first; I merely referred to his earlier post. Next time, it would be worth reading the thread carefully before reaching for sarcasm. Otherwise, what comes across isn't wit, but an embarrassing lack of attention.

1) The reason the quote is misattributed to you is because the quote isn't done correctly in your post
2) I think it was a joke

This is a joke though, right? You don't seriously believe the VMS predicted the future?

As for the first point — I maintain my position — this is a manifestation of exceptional impulsiveness that blinds rational thinking. My post was located in the second segment of that thread. It was enough to go back to the first segment and the matter would have been clarified. But no — anger and the desire to “get at” someone like me was stronger than the ability to think.

[*]As for the second point of your statement: it was not a joke, but rather a poor attempt at irony.

As for your question: this is not a matter of belief, but of a carefully considered and documented analysis of all the illustrations contained in the Voynich Manuscript. To be precise: the VMS does not predict the future, it sees the future. Those who compiled the manuscript knew what they were encoding. This is not a matter of forecasting, but of access to a “information cloud.”
