The presentation concluded early at 30 minutes. Agniezka Rec recorded the session but I don't know yet if the recording will be publicly accessible. If and when it is, I will post the link.
There were no materials available for download. Attendees were allowed to ask questions but only one was and that was concerning the digitized manuscript and whether there were higher resolution images available (Agniezka denied this but we know there are as has been noted in recent posts on this site). It was a very quick overview of the VM and its history touching on some notables like Rudolph II, Roger Bacon, Marci, Wilfrid and Ethel Voynich, Newbold, William and Elizebeth Friedman, Professor Brumbaugh, Nicholas Gibbs, Gerard Cheshire and Claire Bowern. It otherwise focused on refuting things like decipherment claims and Bacon authorship.
Earlier this week, as part of Yale Security Week, there was a talk on Provenance Research given by Lucy Mulroney and Antonia Bartoli that might have been of interest to some on this site. Hopefully, this was also recorded and will be publicly available. On Friday, there will be a talk that may be of interest to some on this site that will be given by E.C. Schroeder titled Book, Manuscripts and Forgeries. I will add it to the site calendar and create a discussion thread for it as soon as possible. Hopefully this evening.
