I was looking for a proper thread to post in, and decided to pick up this thread.
It has been constantly reiterated, with examples, that many Voynichese symbols closely resemble elements of medieval Latin writings.
Occasionally, I stumbled upon another example which, as it seems to me, is not only similar, but strikingly similar to the Voynichese in a number of shapes. Namely, in what is Voynichese
n (here it is tail of
m or
a etc.), Voynihese
s and Voynichese
y. There is found an
r-like shape also.
The examples shown are dated to the first half of XV century, with the first one dated to 1436 and the second one - to 1446. So, unless the scribe of both of them was the same (which is of course possible but I don't know for sure), the time span of 10 years suggests the systematic scribal style, or whatever that's called in the world of paleography.
The collection is referenced as "AGAD, TVars CVars dissoluta (1424–1500) nr 1, z. 1", with "AGAD, TVars CVars dissoluta" essentially meaning land and town registers or "Księgi ziemskie i grodzkie warszawskie; Terrestria et Castrensia Warsaviensia" in Archiwum Główne Akt Dawnych (Central Archive of Historical Records) in Warsaw.
The registers do not seem to be publicly available in digitized form (but scans can be ordered as paid service), but I looked at the two pages shown in "Sanktuarium i parafia TRÓJCY PRZENAJŚWIĘTSZEJ i Św. Anny w Prostyny", by Paweł Rytel-Andrianik, 2nd ed, 2010.
