Register or Login to view.I have aquired another piece of the Voynich puzzle (not with this parchment) in 2015 from an antiquarian bookseller in Florence, the 1908 catalogue of W. M. Voynich of his library in Florence. Thank to this book catalogue there is a connection between father J. Strickland and Voynich, we must think that the priest have contacted the book seller because it owned a famous library in Italy (ex Franceschini library in Florence).
Im confused. It was said that this book catalogue was acquired seperately from the copy page parchment, but it is an exact match with the back of the copy. Every line, crease, and mark is the same. I've roughly morphed the booklet from the laying down position, and you can see that it's the same piece of paper.
Edit: Not an actual image, didn't see the post in italian

I very much appreciate the high resolution scans of both sides of the copy, and really appreciate the measurement tools being added! -

eggyk, thank you for providing an illustration of why it is important to post in English, so people know I'm not just nagging for no reason
The catalogue and the image with two seals are completely separate topics. Fabrizio wrote (in Italian):
"That image was created in 2015 by my cousin Fabio Dal Molin, a well-known 3D image designer.

He made it at my request, using photographs of the seal that was to be reconstructed in order to simulate the “litterae clausae” as an illustrative example, based on the instructions of the Italian State Archives. It was a 3D simulation of what the booklet might have looked like." -

Hahaha, well that makes a LOT more sense. Thankyou. I thought it was weird.
I'll edit the post

I must clarify: the image of the sealed envelope is a 3D simulation created in 2015 to imagine what a closed Roman letter, "Litterae Clausae," might have looked like, sealed with a double seal, one of which was non-returnable (called: to loose). The catalog I purchased regarding the Voynich bookshop in Florence is something else entirely. It has nothing to do with the manuscript's history, which began in 1912, but it is important for understanding W.M. Voynich as an antiquarian bookseller.(16-09-2017, 10:03 PM)Fabrizio Salani Wrote: You are not allowed to view links.

Over the past 13 years, I have acquired other original documents about W.M. Voynich and the manuscript. I am publishing the catalog's cover image.
