Voynich star names analysed (2)
In a previous post I proposed a set of 64 star labels in the Voynich manuscript which seem most probably to represent the names of actual stars (or planets or asterisms). These are essentially only those on three pages of the manuscript, known as f68r1, r2 and r3. I excluded from consideration many more star …
Month names in the Voynich zodiac pages
A well-known oddity about the Voynich manuscript (among so many others) is the set of month names in the centre of the zodiac pages which were obviously added after the main manuscript was completed 롯데카드 다운로드.

Where was the Voynich manuscript produced?
The question posed in my title is one of the most frustrating of all those relating to the Voynich manuscript (VM), and one of the most disputed. Since the VM was rediscovered in 1912 in Italy, many commentators have started from the assumption that it was probably made in Italy. However, others have ventured rather further, suggesting China, …
A 15th century cipher
Looking back through some older Voynich research postings I was reminded of a fascinating 15th century Italian cipher which looks strikingly like the Voynich script movie clowns. It is the work of Giovanni (or Johannes) Fontana in Venice in around 1420-1430. Look at this sample, with the top part in Latin and the second in his …
Observations on ‘ot’ as /al/
I’m currently working on the star names in the Voynich manuscript, and I aim to set out my findings soon. In the process I have come to believe that the very common Voynich prefix transcribed in the EVA system as ‘ot’ could probably represent the sound sequence /al/. Here are some informal observations about this possible …
A Mandaean connection? by Darren Worley
Here I present a short paper sent to me by Darren Worley, arguing for a Mandaean connection: ————- “I think that there is evidence of a Mandaean influence in the VM. I would suggest that the text might be Mandaic, a close-cousin of Syriac. This is the language of the Mandaeans. The purpose of this …
Voynich f57v – the ‘alphabet page’
This page offers discussion and comment on f57v: This is the analysis sent to me by Darren Worley – comments welcome: “I suspect the purpose of f57v (and the text on f58r and f58v) is to describe the use of a kind of Armillary Sphere., which is an astronomical instrument for measuring the celestial …
Links with Syriac script?
This post takes up some discussion from Derek Vogt on other pages. I reproduce his discussion here with a table he has supplied: Derek says: “I coincidentally came across this after having recently spent a lot of time looking at various known alphabets and how they had evolved, so I might have been predisposed to …
