I Do “Listen to the Experts”. Do YOU?
I was prompted to write this post after being chastised some months back, as I often and similarly am, for my non-mainstream Voynich Manuscript theories. The comment was by Koen Gheuens under Elmar Vogt’s excellent December 2023 blog post, “Time … Continue reading
The Birth of (yet another) New Mythology
Back in 2019 I outlined the process by which evidence supporting a genuine, and old, Voynich was created from whole cloth. This was the unfounded “evidence” that the Voynich was referenced in 1903. But there have been many smaller cases … Continue reading
No Expert “Got it Right”
Number 9 on my list of Modern Voynich Myths states that when the 2009 radiocarbon test revealed a date range of 1404 and 1438, it showed the previous experts guessed the date correctly. But this was, and is, utterly incorrect. … Continue reading

The modern forgery hypothesis for the Voynich Manuscript is to some extent based on the many striking similarities between illustrations in the work to those found or described in many other works of all ages. Most of the comparisons are … Continue reading
The Modern Forgery Hypothesis
Although I’ve mentioned various aspects of my Modern Forgery Hypothesis for the Voynich Manuscript over the last few years, both here and on the Voynich Mailing List, I have never posted a summary of it. This is an attempt at … Continue reading

The 1665 Marci Letter: A Forgery?
One of the keystone items of evidence used to support the claims that the Voynich Manuscript is a genuine, ancient work, is the 1665 Marci-to-Kircher letter which Wilfrid Voynich said he found in the book. But does this letter deserve … Continue reading

The Three Quire Theory
Over the last year or so I’ve begun to wonder if the bifolios of the Voynich Manuscript may actually be cut from some larger folio stock, which was originally in the form of three or four large, blank quires. If … Continue reading

Inking Pox Leber
There are several issues to address in this post, although they are intertwined: Certain characters in the Voynich which may read “pox leber”, the ink which was used to write them, and the various evidence behind both. But as is … Continue reading
