Here is what the Latin line is:

This is good work and I commend you for continuing to try hard.
In this typeface, the [f]-looking symbol is actually an ʃ which represents the letter s (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.). Also I think you may have divided some parts of words which would naturally be together (simplicissimaque and existentium are both one word in Latin), and joined some words which would actually be separate (fuit is separate). Here is what the Latin line is:
per lineam rectam circulumque, prima simplicissimaque (space) fuit rerum, tum, non existentiu(m), tum ...
(For comparison here is your line):

My Latin is rudimentary (so Latin scholars DO correct anything I got wrong) but I'm agreement with Thomas on most points.
Here's what I get as a transcription:
Per Lineam rectam, Circulum[ ]que, Prima, Simplicissi[ ]maque fuit Rerum, tum, non existentiu[m], tum in Naturae latentium Involucris, in Lucem Productio, representatio[ ]que.

I'm taking some hits to my reputation for trying to decode the Voynich Manuscript funny. I'm still not done with this document!

There is no way that this sort of arbitrary substitution can function as a method for reliable communication.

Register or Login to view.Is that pi minus one?Sorry, I've been trying to touch-type numbers (without looking at the keys) and I'm not very good at it yet (I've corrected it). I meant to type Pi, but Pi minus 1 would work as well, the overall idea being to find sequences that are unlikely to happen by accident.
