  Hello everyone.
  
  Im completely new at this, just a regular person who stumbled upon the Voynich manuscript scans a little while ago, but looking at the pages, I cant help but feel that brilliant people are overthinking it. 
  To me, it looks like a practical notebook shared by few medieval guys who used a clever visual shorthand to save expensive things and keep their recipes private.
  
  By just looking at the different handwritings I came up with 4 simple rules that make sense TO ME:
  
  1: The Loop Rule (Herbal): In the plat pages, closed-look letters like "O" "a" "d" arent single letters. They look like symbols for whole lab actions, like writting in circle every time you mean "mix". The open letters with long lines are just the normal letters completing the word.
  
  2: The Mirror Trick (Astrology): The artist who drew the stars (ye, an artist for me) changed the rules to hide his notes. In this section its the exact opposite: the long vertical lines are the main syllables, and the loops are just a single connecting letters. its like flipping a mirror to confuse outsiders. Make sense to me.
  
  3: The Quantity Rule (Recipes):  A word repeat three times in a row? For me, this is a medical recipe book (or something like that). If a tired clerk writes a word three times, he isnt crazy, he is just writting quantities without numbers.
  
  4: Ignore Decorations Rule: The one who drew the stars was clearly a showoff. He added extra loops and flares to the letters just to make them look pretty around the diagrams. If you visually erase those fancy adds, the real words become way clearer.
  
  If anyone runs this rules though a script to try and decode it, I bet theyll get a huge surprise
  
  I dont think its a complex mathematical cipher. Its just a 15th century dynamic shorthand that changes depending on wich one was holding the pen that day. 
  I belive the psychology of the scripters directly influences their encryption style.
  
  Iam zero expert, zero researcher,  but this simple logic clicked on my head and want to share it.
  
  I hope this helps in some way

  If you can produce a verifiable translation, you will cement your name in history.  What language do you think it is?

  Many of these have been proposed and explored over the years. They don't hold to scrutiny. It looks simple on paper but it always leads to dead-ends and gibberish. The manuscript's been impenetrable for a long time, all sorts of approaches have been tried, none of them yield decent results so far
