Quote:Morten St George: My scan of the VMS is of poor quality. Enlargement to better distinguish the writing quickly turns into blur. These days, teenage kids can make better resolution scans than that. I checked out purchasing the facsimile book but reader reviews say the resolution is equally bad.

Quote:Morten St George: I agree with much of what you say but do not think it should apply to items that can be fairly considered part of the cultural heritage of humankind. Such items belong to all of us.

Which scans are you using? The Voynich Manuscript is a very small manuscript, about the size of a trade paperback. What we see is actually more clear than what one sees in real life without additional aids such as magnifying glasses and microsopes.
Before you start disparaging the Beinecke Library, perhaps we should figure out whether you are looking at the high-res scans.
