Voynich-like Symbols in a Florentine Manuscript

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Well, it's not a new speculation that some ancestor of stenography "artis velociter scribere" (the art of writing quickly) might be related to Voynichese, but there are good reasons why it is not likely: Voynichese has too few common glyphs and they are too predictable to be a compressed form of writing.

But stenography systems often collapse similar sounds like p+b, t+d, k+g, s+z, etc, and may omit some or all vowels. T rsut my p a pit hart t untrstnt but it s amasnc hw rtuntnt nturl lancxs r.  But that means a severely reduced alphabet. 

All the best, --stolfi
