Obviously, our generation, with their quest for their "15 minutes" has littered the Internet with "solutions" to the Voynich manuscript. Thus, in the future, if the internet or something like it stays "up," researchers could find these and take these into account (for better or worse).
But I realized, since I have never studied the history of science in anything more than a spectator's way, I did not know how would a potential solver at various times over the history of the Voynich go about disseminating their ideas.
I suppose you could look to other well known "decryptions" at different time periods and see how those were made known. I'll look into this (I imagine there is general scholarly work about this in the history of science field), but I would be interested in such parallels that other board members can provide off the top of their heads.
Are there times during the existence of the Voynich that such publication would be dangerous, suppressed, or otherwise result in no public disclosure? Perhaps for similar reasons that the manuscript might have been encrypted? But obviously not necessarily directly parallel, as I am looking for something in a different time period than during its creation.
This is clearly speculation, but can we be certain that all the places that a possible solution could be available have been completely tapped out?
Certainly there are both public and non-public places that haven't been examined . . . remember we don't have the "Voynich" key word to search on -- LOL.
I would circle back to my suggestion before -- IF there is a key that was not publicized, if it still exists, the most likely place for it would be someplace where the manuscript has been physically. That's why it is good to know.
Interested in hearing what others might have to say about this.
