You posted it in such a way that it seems to imply support of your idea that John Dee signed this, but it does not.
There are letters in many of the images so I did some image processing on the folio you posted.
Here's what happened. If there's text in there (it looks like there might be but it's extremely small) it doesn't look anything like "John Dee" (regardless of whether it's viewed upside-down or rightside-up):

Register or Login to view.When hunting for hidden writing in the VM one needs to be very careful not to let it develop into a personal Rorschach test, especially with the paintwork. The paint does tend to get lodged into cracks in the parchment which can lead to the confusion that there are parallel ink marks as made by a pen.
Also remember the parchment is very thin on some pages, allowing scoremarks, writing and even illustrations on the reverse to be visible. If you look at the reverse of that page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. then you can clearly see the image you are looking at, coming through the thin parchment. What we are seeing may just be a trick of the parchment.
That's not to say I'm dismissing your image - I haven't stopped to investigate it fully - but simply repeating an oft given warning about the dangers of spending too long fixed to a screen magnifying bits of the image.

You dismiss everything I do; so there is definitely an agenda which I feel you have. I'm not attacking you and I know you are brilliant by the way you write and understand language.
You left out some of the shapes that are there and misread ones that aren't. Why are you ignoring the shapes next to the "name" that are more clear than the ones you marked?
Also, it's a bad idea to write over the marks. It's better to write next to them or to use dots (small ones), rather than lines that obscure the actual image.
Good research is about figuring out what is there.
Bad research is assuming what is there, and who wrote it, and imposing that idea on the data.
And why would John Dee misspell his own name when it's hidden under the paint? It's spelled Ioannis (not Ioaniss).

I don't know why he would misspell his own name maybe some deflection like what is happening in this moment with you and I. Maybe he left and came back later to start with an, i then added an S who knows. Maybe he was afraid of being found out. I believe he was under a great deal of stress and money was on the line and this text must have been hard to produce for it tiny size.

Stephen Bax has explained to me that this voynich script is not a cipher at his site. The pictures are nice and some are obvious that is why what I have done is historical. My associations have given them meaning from the glyph's. So right now I only agree on my method that it is true and maybe a few here like it, but I believe some day my work will be referred to many times.(07-10-2016, 09:59 AM)stellar Wrote: You are not allowed to view links.

There's a lot you could learn from some of the people here who do very careful, very well supported research. I do not dismiss what they do.
You want quick results, instant gratification. You're creative and energetic, but you're not willing to take the TIME it takes to get real results. Check your work, double-check with other sources, don't try to impose your expectations on the data and your work will NOT be dismissed. Then you will have a chance of being taken seriously.
I have no agenda, only a commitment to good research and finding the truth. If you're not trying to do that, if you decide in advance John Dee did this, then you are prejudicing your own results and you may miss important clues leading to real answers.
