Proposed Manuscript Chronology

[MarcoP]

Thank you very much for this thread! As far as I know, Guttman and Kendall were never mentioned in the context of Voynich studies. It’s great to know that Rene’s findings fit into a pattern that also shows up in the archeological data of Flinders Petrie.

I have always been puzzled by that V-shape of PCA1 vs PCA2, but I think I can now partially understand why this happens.

A detail I am not sure about is that the first plot in post #1 shows Biological as the extreme B-side subset, while the last post shows part of Stars as the extreme. I guess this depends on the shape of the green line in the second plot (MDS1, MDS2): that green curve seems to me to be a little weird at both extremes, so I am not fully convinced of the stars-bio-stars chronology.
