Sometime ago I was Googling for Voynich related information and I ran across a Voynich paper on Scribd by Joannes Richter. I saved the link at the time but it took me until now to look into it further. It turns out it is # 8 in a series of 17 (so far) such papers by this author about the VM (he has others about the VM outside this series). I did a search on this site because I thought for certain someone here must have discussed his work before but my search came up empty. However, Nick Pelling has written about him on Cipher Mysteries (specifically, a You are not allowed to view links.

Overview of studies (and vita) of Joannes Richter Born 1947 in the Netherlands I studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Eindhoven (Netherlands) and received a Master of Science degree in 1972. From 1972 I designed communication-systems for various large and medium-size German companies, including antennas, propagation systems and IT-databases for data-management. From 1989 (in my spare time) I studied etymology and linguistics as a communication tool, which might be optimized by ternary codings. Technical ternary systems may often be found in managing data structures, searching and sorting procedures. Most technical ternary systems may be found in the early stages of data processing, electronic systems and communications.
I confess I haven't read through these completely yet, just parts of them. I wasn't even able to access # 4, which is
not listed below. It took me quite awhile just to dig up as much information as I have presented here. All these papers can be read online without a login on Scribd but to download them you will need at least a free trial account. I have included below just the titles, number of pages, upload dates, and Scribd links. If any of you do read any of them, I hope you at least find them interesting, if not also find some fresh thoughts or insight. Richter put quite a lot of work into them.
