My Voynich Grammar Book and New Substack Journal
I would like to share two recent developments in my research of the Voynich Manuscript.
1. Draft of my book on Voynich Grammar
I have recently made a draft of my book on Voynich grammar available on Academia.edu and have also uploaded it as an Adobe PDF for easier access.
My research is based on the hypothesis that the Voynich Manuscript was written in a form of 15th-century Slovenian, using a writing system influenced by medieval Latin with some unique letterforms and spelling conventions.
The book presents my interpretation of the Voynich alphabet, vocabulary, and grammatical structures, supported by comparisons with historical Slovenian, Slovenian dialects, and other Slavic languages.
The focus of this draft is on transliteration and transcription alphabet, on comparison of Voynich and Slovenian word structures, morphology, spelling conventions and 15th century writing practice.
My book outlines the method I used to verify the alphabet, grammar and vocabulary, examines and explains many problems other Voynich researchers had pointed out, as well as many obstacles created by various ambiguities that make the Voynich Manuscript difficult to transliterate, transcribe, translate and properly grammatically analyze, and particularly resistant to computational testing.
The draft of my book can be found on

2. My new Substack publlication - Voynich Journal
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Because of the complications with my old web page, I have recently started a Substack publication, Cvetka's Voynich Journal, where I intend to document the development of my research step by step.
My approach to the Voynich Manuscript is interdisciplinary. I believe that the manuscript cannot be fully understood through linguistic analysis alone. Its language, illustration, and symbolism must also be examined in relation to the geographical, historical, religious, political, cultural, philosophical, and intellectual circumstances of the period in which it was created.
These different aspects of medieval life did not exist in isolation. They influenced one another, and I believe that understanding their interactions may provide important clues to the manuscript's origin, authorship, language, and purpose.
On Substack, I intend to explore these connections in greater detail, presenting the evidence that has led me to my interpretations, explaining my reasoning, and identifying questions that remain unresolved.
I will also discuss medieval writing conventions, historical Slovenian vocabulary and grammar, religious movements, philosophical ideas, and the possible significance of the manuscript's illustrations.
I recognize that my interpretation differs considerably from prevailing theories about the Voynich Manuscript. However, I believe that Slovenian language should be considered before some exotic distant languages are proposed, mainly because it was widely spoken in the regions many researchers associate with the origin of the Voynich Manuscript.
I welcome constructive criticism, questions, and suggestions from fellow researchers. My hope is that sharing my work openly will encourage further discussion and perhaps inspire others to examine the manuscript from perspectives that have received relative little attention.
