  Quote:This book is trash. It is pictures of a book and the language is not modern. You cannot read anything - just look at a few pictures.
  
  Utter trash - translate the book!

  
  Indeed, why has no one thought of translating the book? Is anyone in the Voynich community working on that?
  
  

  Quote:An unnecessary publication of meaningless babble. Don't waste your money on this. Wait till someone finds its origin and worth before buying; but I suspect this will never happen. And if you're an artist looking for inspiration or insight into something profound, don't be fooled. You won't find it here.

  
  Always glad to see a fellow critic of the art, I suppose.
  
  

  Quote:It's a good book other than the fact that there was nude people. I brought this for my son. I in dump going through and tearing out the pages and super gluing the ones that had some on one page to others.

  
  Ah yes, the inherent eroticism of the balenological section, I believe we can all relate.
  
  Several people seem to have reviewed different products, which contain some incredible crankery I had not seen before.
  
  

  Quote:The author dreamed of Leonardo da Vinci and the twin he didn't have offering her the solution to the manuscript. It's all a recipe for absinthe. Never mind what the actual text might say! The author's dreams have spoken. This is a terrible waste of time.

  
  AI has been a terrible development in a lot of ways, but outsourcing dream crankery to a machine is one of the more unforgivable. You used to have to get your insane ideas from Leonardo da Vinci's dream twin, but now we've automated the process, taking the human touch out of it. Chat-GPT lacks the verve needed to fabricate this.
  
  

  Quote:The author isn't an academic schooler! Book is a rant on jews God and herbs. The book also needs editing.

  
  I sympathize! Never once in my life have I seen a rant about "Jews" that did not desperately need editing, though that's rarely the biggest problem I have with them.

  I hope most of these are joke entries, though I fear for the last one.

  Unfortunately, I am dead certain that the woman gluing pages together is real; I am from the American heartland and she is everywhere, she is legion

  I don't know what causes people to think this way.
  What did you expect? A copy of a Shakespeare play? A fucking study bible?
  No. It's a facsimile of a manuscript from medieval times full of cryptic writing which we know basically nothing about.
