    Hello.

    A lot of sources speculate, that maybe, origin of this manuscript is Georgian.
    I don't think so.
    Why?
    Because I'm Georgian and I don't see any similarities neither in writing style, possible grammar and by means of illustration.
    If you want to check by yourself, here is huge PDF - 154mb, it has samples of almost all kinds of Georgian texts, from early 9th century to 19th century:

    (Please note, imagery is not given is not sorted by years, first it is sorted by subject - religious, literature, scientific, and then - years).

    I don't see any similarities with Voynich script at all. From my point of vision, Voyinich fonts looks more like maybe cyrilic/greek origin, then Georgian or Armenian (which have similarities in glyphs, but totally different in spelling and reading).

    And just have look at this book. It is same origin as Voynich manuscript is believed to be (herbia/medical/science and almost same era) and it depicts certain natural event. Can you guess it without google?

    Looks like backward/mirror writing to me. Is it Leonardo?

    Thanks for the link, most interesting.
    Yes I agree the script is not Georgian, it is based on the Roman alphabet. I don't know if anyone still defending the theory that there Voynich script is a natural language script.

    PS- is it an eclipse?

    It looks more like several heavenly bodies alligning.

    I agree that the script seems mostly based on Latin script.

    Now when people talk orogins, they may just be talking about the imagery as well..

    The image shows winds, their direction of blow, and their characteristics (humid, dry, time of year, etc.).
