Quote:it introduced me to the names of some people who I hadn't heard of in connection with the VoynichI appreciate that that is a personal statement, but all of them have been strongly connected with 21st century Voynich MS publicity.

Yet the Voynich is extraordinary, romantic, frustrating, contradictory, mad(dening) and yet hyperrational. It's a siren, and everyone thinks they're smart enough to tie themselves to the mast, but they get lured to their fate regardless.
You wouldn't think so from that film, sorry.
