<br />
Going by the article, this might have been an early attempt at translation conducted by Johannes Marcus Marci. Now I know that this key cannot provide any actual translation of the manuscript. All the same I was curious as to why specifically this key was chosen. After all, someone (Marci according to the handwriting analysis) must have had a hunch that this was the way to go. They made sure to write it down on the very first folio. If they were just toying around why not scribble on some piece of paper instead of the actual vellum? <br />
<br />
So I matched the table above to EVA transliteration and applied the key to the full "text" of the manuscript. The result can be seen in the <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">attached file </span>(split for file size). There are a couple of legit words that in there, but nothing that really stands out as a likely starting point for Marci's substitution attempt. If he believed an simple substitution was behind it (and not having the luxury of conducting computer powered brute force attempts), I would expect that he would pick some word standing by themselves or serving as a label to some image and go from there. "Rex" (latin for "king") shows up a couple of times, but usually in the middle of text blocks and not matching any part of the text you might expect to say "king". <br />
<br />
Of course we do not know what Marci would have thought the original language of the manuscript to be. <ul class="mycode_list"><li>Does anyone know a good method to double check if there are more meaningful words in this substitution in any appropriate language?<br />
</li>
</ul>
<br />
There is also a chance that his key did produce some legitimate plain text words, but only in the folios lost to us.

A different possibility occurred to me. I would segment part of the line as:<br />
<br />
[Voynichese "words"] <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">valsch vůren</span> [...] <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">so nim Got</span>(ſ) <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">mich</span> [plummeting stone]<br />
<br />
The two forms that particularly interest me are therefore <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">valsch vůren</span>, with possible normalized modern equivalent <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">falsch führen</span>. In fact, initial<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i"> v</span>- for <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">f</span>- is well attested in Middle High German.<br />
<br />
Finding exact parallels is not straightforward. Depending on scribal practice, the initial <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">u</span>/<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">v</span> shapes could be differentiated in different ways, and modern editors might transcribe or normalize a comparable form quite differently (<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">v</span>-, <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">u</span>-, <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">uv</span>-, <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">uu</span>-, <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">w</span>-, etc.). The semicircular superscript sign, possibly indicating <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Umlaut</span>, introduces another variable, so searching electronically for one particular spelling could be misleading.<br />
<br />
Instead,<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i"> nim </span>rather than modern <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">nimm</span> seems less remarkable to me, but it still deserves some caution as far as spelling normalization is concerned, as does the possible <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Got</span>(ſ).<br />
<br />
This leads me to two related questions:<br />
<br />
<ol type="1" class="mycode_list"><li>Is the identification of the form I have tentatively written <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">vůren </span>with <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">führen </span>palaeographically and linguistically plausible for a 15th-century German text?<br />
</li>
<li>If so, are there contemporary attestations of <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">falsch </span>+<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"> </span><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">führen</span> (in whatever spelling), and what would the construction have meant at the time?<br />

In my opinion, that long s is almost certainly a long s, as the reading gaſmich, actually means something, what would 'gafmich' mean? Nothing, we don't even see a clear crossbar than an f would have, as well as the fact that first you're taking the liver of a goat, then the milk of a goat? It makes more sense. Anyway, the nymph could represent the two Voynichese words, (<span style="font-family: Eva;" class="mycode_font">aror</span> <span style="font-family: Eva;" class="mycode_font">Sheey</span>)why wouldn't these also be washed away?</blockquote>The nymphs and the goat on the left do not seem to fit with the author's style (especially when compared to the nymphs from balneology).

In my opinion, that long s is almost certainly a long s, as the reading gaſmich, actually means something, what would 'gafmich' mean? Nothing, we don't even see a clear crossbar than an f would have, as well as the fact that first you're taking the liver of a goat, then the milk of a goat? It makes more sense. Anyway, the nymph could represent the two Voynichese words, (<span style="font-family: Eva;" class="mycode_font">aror</span> <span style="font-family: Eva;" class="mycode_font">Sheey</span>)why wouldn't these also be washed away?</blockquote>The nymphs and the goat on the left do not seem to fit with the author's style (especially when compared to the nymphs from balneology).

Could someone who speaks good Latin translate what "porta8" could be in these cases? I suspect the "8" is an abbreviation.<br />

<br />
Johannes von Gmünden (1380/1384 - 1442) was an astronomer in Austria (You are not allowed to view links. <a href="https://www.voynich.ninja/member.php?action=register">Register</a> or <a href="https://www.voynich.ninja/member.php?action=login">Login</a> to view.).

<br />
Not many writings of his own hand survive, unfortunately. One of them that does, is Augsburg, Universitätsbibl., Cod.

In this manuscript, we can see some startling things. Here are a few words that remind one of the VMS folio 17r:<br />

If we do not attempt to interpret the meaning of this text, we can infer that the person understood the significance of these two words.<br />

As for f116v, I can only say that this marginalia contains <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">aror sheey</span>, and the handwriting is similar to that of "der musdel" (at least the "m" letters are identical).<br />
Based on this, it would be possible to try to provide clues to the text in these marginalia. For example, der musdel could be a "continuation" of the text above (roughly speaking, <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">otcheo daiin chty ykchscheg</span> could mean "how to treat this person?" or "it is treated with flour", in which case "der musdel" would specify the type of flour). At the very least, we have reason to believe that the author of these marginalia knew the content of the text. Perhaps he can share his knowledge with us...<br />

<br />
It is in a circle with the Voynichese words. The first letter (which is clearly a Latin s) and the third letter (maybe an n) are what distinguish this word. The word is also highlighted by the fact that there are connections between the letters (marked in dark red in the image below), and the distance between them is quite small.<br />
I tried to draw the letters that I could see here:<br />

<br />
At least this word has 4 letters, the final one is not identified for sure. The word looks similar to the Bavarian "Suna" (the sun), which is consistent with the sun that is supposedly drawn nearby. However, it is unclear why u has a tail...<br />

			<description><![CDATA[While researching the balneology section, I noticed that some words were noticeably different from others on the same page, as if they had been added by someone else who knew Voynichese. Of course, this isn't exactly marginal, but I'm putting it here. <br />

<br />
The word <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">kchedykary</span> is written in a handwriting style similar to the rest of the section, but the lines are thin and about the same width, which is unusual for pen writing but resembles fountain pen writing. You can also notice that it is written above the line, rather than starting the line.<br />
The letter<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i"> d</span> is also highlighted - it is written without jerks and resembles an eight too much. On the same page, you can see the words between the pipe and the pond with the nymphs. They don't fit into the lines and are written in the same way as <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">kchedykary</span> (clearly not with a pen).<br />

Such "foreign signatures" are not regular, i.e., there are also signature words written with a pen in the section. However, these inscriptions have a special feature: as you can see, they are often written inside illustrations.<br />
Maybe I'm wrong, and this is just a hallucination, but it seemed strange to me.<br />
