This is the start of a piece of text of locus type 'Ab'. given below. Various hypotheses have been put forward as to why and for what purposes the Voynich Manuscript was created. This correct solution is not necessarily the translation of the Voynich MS into plain language, but it is the method how the MS text was generated. These are, actually, pages 68v1,68v2. The aim of this is to allow computer software to analyse the text, for example in order to derive statistics or to aid the interpretation and ideally translation of the text. The script representation in this table uses the capitalisation rule. As mentioned above, the transliteration files all have rather significant differences in format. The FSG transliteration effort is described in detail in Reeds (1995) Marci's memory on this topic was just fine at this time. The file format(s) used nowadays are far removed from modern representation standards. The Voynich MS does not look to me like a document commissioned by a client. still available for downloading. Bennett's alphabet has not been used outside of this publication. To some extent this is made more difficult by the absence of other texts using the same'script' and a lack of other context (where it actually originated and who was involved in its creation etc). There are signs that the MS has been copied from a draft. and the Yale "copyflo" If I assume that the base language of the Voynich MS is Latin (which is not an unreasonable assumption of course) then I exclude a lot of hypothetical solutions, for example that the text is meaningless. Th. Who knows... Now the structure is not very rigid, and some words do not fit the structure at all. It includes in particular the above-mentioned version of the Takeshi Takahashi transliteration, as it was in 1999. The converted transliteration by Takeshi Takahashi that is included in the Landini-Stolfi interlinear file. The Voynich Manuscript: The Book Nobody Can Read | Skeptical Inquirer. A number of characters using lower case were added to this alphabet. All in all, the evidence for this is quite thin, so I am ready to change my mind on this point. However, there is more to the MS than just its text, and very significant progress has been made in many areas: Personally, I am also impressed by recent work, in part confirming older work that wasn't very well documented I am looking for evidence for this, but for the moment, this is just an idea, no more. Though by profession he was a lawyer, he was deeply interested in alchemy and secret writing, and also writes about his research into Rudolf's plain text and enciphered manuscripts For this reason, I will try to go on systematically and within a logical framework. The VTT tool could be instructed to include or exclude pages with any combination of variables set to certain values. However, it has a distinct disadvantage in that it is not very well suited for the type of numerical analysis mentioned at the top of this page, primarily because of its frequent use of the apostrophe, and to a lesser extent the mixture of letters and numbers. A new study claims that the Voynich manuscript, a medieval text which is undeciphered to this day, describes historical events, like the eruption of a volcano in the Mediterranean Sea. What should I do? Could the MS be a hoax? This topic is addressed from three different aspects, on three (sets of) pages: This page addresses the second part, the transliteration of the text. There are quite a number of completely trustworthy experts, but be aware they are also quite critical. It summarises historical transliteration efforts and describes the present state of affairs. In parellel to this, a completely new type of transliteration alphabet was designed: The 'Frogguy' transliteration alphabet was designed by Jacques Guy in 1991. Table 4 shows all such rare characters. text analysis section of this site. Any proposed solution should properly explain this. Long de 240 pages manuscrites, il est accompagné de dessins de plantes, de nus et d'observations astronomiques. To me there can be no doubt that the Voynich MS is from the fifteenth century. A printout of the transliteration was discovered by Jim Reeds in the above-mentioned Marshall library, and together with Jacques Guy he entered it in computer readable form. This is a. Unfortunately, the differences between the above three formats are quite significant, and the v101 transliteration file uses yet another, completely different representation. This useful feature has also been included in the "Voynich Information Browser" of Elias Schwerdtfeger, for which If you think that you found the solution, or also if you are sure that you found the solution, but you are not sure how to announce it to the world, I can only recommend to describe it as clearly as possible on a web site. The letters in Voynich Manuscript are, in a … Epi-07 அறிவியலால் விளக்க முடியாத தீராத மர்மங்கள் -Tamil Vs Maya (Science Mystery in Tamil) - Duration: 6:48. This copy of the Takahashi transliteration will be referred to as IT. I found the solution. The first is the previously mentioned capitalisation rule introduced already by Jacques Guy. (7). By now I have become more curious about the method how the text was generated than about the contents, if there are any. 87. Would Raphael Mnišowský know anything about Rudolf's MS acquisitions? Of the interlinear file there are also several versions. He then converted this garbled or even meaningless text, using the inverse of the 'decoding method' of bullet 1, and wrote it in a strange alphabet. Originally I strongly opposed to this idea, but I now feel that it would be wrong to discard a priori. All the evidence is sufficiently consistent: the This was based on the transliteration file format of the "LZ" file, and it allowed several useful operations on the text, primarily the removal of the various types of annotations, and the selection of pages depending on their properties. It is often suggested that Voynich MS research hasn't progressed a bit since the MS was discovered by Voynich. You might also be concerned that someone could steal your idea, or you might not get the proper recognition. This tool was called BITRANS and it was developed by Jacques Guy. It is not unusual for medieval and later MSs to have several herbals combined into one MS. Now this brings me to the question: are these independent works, bound together, or are they part of one common philosophy? We can only imagine a multitude of different ways how it could have been created. What is your background? Bennett was assisted in his Voynich MS analysis by Jonina Duker, who was then a sophomore student When Gabriel Landini and myself embarked on a new transliteration of the MS, a project that we named "EVMT" at the time, we decided that a new alphabet, but one based on the principles of Frogguy, would be needed. Note that at the bottom of this page there are also some It rather looks like this was someone's own initiative. Videos at youtube really don't work very well. and do all sorts of conversions. Today, it is in the library of Yale University. The few characters in script in the right margin of, The short words under the paint of a leaf on, The words in Voynichese script that are included in the top margin of. It is clearly stated to be an opinion and it is not even clear that it is his own opinion He has also updated his transliteration over time, based on reports from users. see below. Best regards. (2). Petersen of the Catholic University of America already made a complete hand-written copy of the MS using a complete photocopy of the MS and in some cases, in order to transliterate difficult parts, the actual MS. Now, with this assumption, I am already going against what I wrote above. Recent work published by contributors at the blog of Stephen Bax writing, Inwards writing along the radii of circles, Outwards writing along the radii of circles. The value of N must increase monotonously, starting at 1, for each page. It simply represents in an electronic form the shapes that are seen in the MS. (5). The standard problem with the net is that it is difficult to separate reliable from unreliable information. briefly described here. (12). That he reports the opinion that the MS was by Roger Bacon, which is no longer believed nowadays, does not change that. By its nature, it is the first alphabet that allows to properly represent many of the ligatured characters that were mentioned above. If yes, please don't write to me or to Yale. While defining the alphabet, individual rare characters, or rare parts of ligatures, were assigned a 'high ASCII' code, and the way to include them into transliteration files is defined as follows: @185; for ascii code 185 The FSG transliteration alphabet uses capital letters and numbers. Its design was part of a larger scheme which included: 'Basic Eva' is the set of lower case characters that was identified, and 'Extended Eva' includes the representation of all types of rare characters. some of the text outside the standard paragraphs. It was 1995 before I could join the internet mailing list that had recently started, and I followed all discussions. IMG: Extended Eva character set   This tool was called BITRANS, was written in Pascal and ran in DOS (it still would). etc. This is very clear from handwritten annotatations made on the source copies saying "omit punch" or "punch just this". IMG: v101 keyboard assignments , Sometimes, characters are offset just a bit and it is hard to decide whether there is a space or not. At the same time, some characters in the MS which may be assumed to be a single character are represented by several using this alphabet. The original transliteration of D'Imperio and Currier. Alignment of the two versions was started, but not completed. How/when did you first find out about this MS? Based on an initial effort by Jim Reeds, Gabriel Landini collected the important older transliterations mentioned above into a single interlinear file, meaning that they were presented together line by line. Suppose I am searching for the solution to the Voynich MS, i.e. Anybody who wants to present a Voynich MS solution should present the method how the text that we see in the MS was generated. this method certainly exists and was really used by someone in the fifteenth century; this approach works both in the case that the text is meaningful, and in case it is meaningless. It is therefore also important to realise that your message that you found the solution is not going to get anybody very excited. This is where its earliest known traces are, and historians there are in the best position to find additional evidence about the MS's history, in particular before the time of Rudolf II. The following list, based on a previous version of the Wikipedia Voynich Manuscript page [1] is a list of novels and other material which make use of the Manuscript. Possibly, lots of The main advantages of this approach are: This text generation method should then explain the properties of the Voynich MS text that have been reported extensively in the past, and have been summarised to some extent in the There have been plenty of suggestions for names of individuals who could have written the Voynich MS. Standardisation of the transliteration file format, including a standard way to identify the location of all text items in the MS (called, The capability to design a True Type Font that accurately represents the Voynich MS text, Ligatures including rare single characters. Next-generation transliteration of the text, Location of main transliteration resources, With the < character in the first position of the line. These are the ones that are most usually mentioned and the ones most easily imaginable. Most particularly, it should explain the peculiar word structure, and the variations in 'language' throughout the various sections of the MS. In the earliest days of the internet, there was a thing called 'Usenet' in which people could post information in groups dedicated to various topics, including news, sports, culture, science, etc. The basic Eva alphabet was chosen such that the transliterated text is almost pronouncible. From time to time I am contacted by journalists who want to write an article about the Voynich MS, and invariably they start by asking the same questions. The "GC" file identifies loci by a line number, or a more descriptive identification in other cases. Not a living soul knows what it means. Just to repeat the critial point: the Voynich MS exists, it is real and it was really created by someone, some time ago. It is odd how little advanced such tools are nowadays, even in spite of the fact that most people interested in the Voynich MS that I know have far better computer skills than history knowledge. This showed that there are some minor inconsistencies in counting the different loci, which could be resolved. This table has been re-drawn using the Eva Hand-1 font. For me, there is little reason to discard this evidence for being unreliable. It's a conscious decision after weighing the probabilities, and it will always be possible to go back, should evidence to the contrary show up. Enjoy the meticulous illustrations of botanical fantasies. If yes, I'm afraid it's not looking very good. At the moment I still have plenty of ideas, but no "hot leads". Table 11 summarises the coverage of these loci in each of the five main transliteration files. What is usually referred to as pharmaceutical for me is just another herbal part. This is more convenient, but it has the result that their rendition in the True Type Font is sub-optimal. If a proposed solution suggests that the MS represents a meaningful text in some language, a critical test will be to convert a real, documented piece of text from the proposed area, time frame and language into Voynichese and then show that this generated text exhibits the above-mentioned properties of the Voynich MS text. The manuscript is made up of about 240 vellum pages, and was probably written in the early 15th century in northern Italy. They are presented roughly in chronological order. Table 1: definition of the main historic alphabets. For me, there are several areas where further progress is most needed: better use of expertise, better availability of information and better tools. Of course, in both of these scenarios the text of the MS may very well be meaningless. There are probably a dozen people every year who believe or claim that they have found the solution. Present a decoding method, which includes an assumption about the plain text language (possibly based on some observation), and the steps needed to convert the Voynich MS characters to this; Apply this procedure to a section of the Voynich MS text and present the result. This alphabet uses the capital letters A-Z and the numbers 0-9 (i.e. I developed my own tool to take an existing transliteration file and extract from it only those parts I wanted to analyse: one particular quire, one page, only all labels, etc. The MS has been dated, primarily using radio carbon dating, to 1404-1438 with 95% probability, A complete set of high-resolution digital colour scans is available, A complete electronic transliteration of the text has been made, The history of the MS from about 1637 to present has been largely clarified, Medieval MSs in general, their manufacture and classification/dating. In general, I just don't know which is the correct or even most likely answer, so I prefer to keep all options open. The result of this exercise was the definition of a new format, which I have called IVTFF (Intermediate Voynich Transliteration File Format). This document, in which he added many interesting annotations, is still preserved in the William F. Friedman collection of the Marshall Library in Lexington (Va) To add some speculation to this, I would not be surprised if Raphael knew about this MS already in Tepenec' time, picked it up after his death, and handed it to Sendivogius to study and hopefully decipher it. Why should that be. Same as above, but identifiying the source of the transliteration (a person or a group) by the character T. Lines indented significantly due to drawings or other text, Dislocated text in free-floating paragraphs, Right-justified lines in normal paragraphs, All labels and dislocated words or characters, Individual words or characters not near a drawing element, Labels of astronomical or cosmological elements which are not stars or zodiac labels, Labels of containers in the pharmaceutical section, Labels of herb fragments in the pharmaceutical section, Labels of nymphs in the biological/balneological section, Labels of full plants in the herbal section, Labels of 'tubes and tubs' in the biological/balneological section, Individual pieces of 'external(?)' As already mentioned on the [r:s:d]. (Mysteries In Hindi ) In today's video I'll be telling you about Voynich Manuscript which is Mysterious and Impossible to understand. Jorge Stolfi also introduced the useful feature in the "LSI" file where a single locus may be represented several times, as transliterated by different people. The manuscript is known for … No signficant transliterations have been made using this alphabet. To my surprise, I realized that this IS NOT the complete book. There is a second page addressing some more specific topics related to Voynich MS transliteration. I personally maintain that there aren't really two different languages, but there is a continuous change in language Contemporary classical composer Hanspeter Kyburz's 1995 chamber work The Voynich Cipher Manuscript, for chorus& ensemble is inspired by the manuscript. The pharmaceutical pages have about 240 drawings with labels, but again there is a hint that this is incomplete and possibly pages are missing. At the same time the MS does not make any sense as it is unreadable. It is correct to treat this evidence with care. (3). The Voynich Manuscript remains as mysterious as it was the day it reached the hands of an Emperor who reportedly paid the hefty sum of 600 gold ducats (an equivalent of $900,000 today) to have it in his possession. Hello Konstantin! Also for the v101 alphabet a True Type font has been designed, and like the Eva font it allows high-quality rendition of the Voynich MS text in electronic documents (HTML, Word). In reality, we don't yet know whether the Voynich MS represents a meaningful text. As reported by Brumbaugh It rather looks like this was someone's own initiative. Additional relevant information about the pages or the text may be included. Alternative forms derived from this are available in several places, see for example the following section. In this respect, the work of Prescott Currier, who identified two (or more) hands and two languages, is often quoted Another page. The biggest problem is to decide whether two almost-similar-looking written shapes are two different ones, or two representations of the same one, where the variation is just caused by handwriting variations. Many years before that, in the 1930's, Fr. (11). I am also happy that I have been able to contribute to an increased awareness of, and interest in the Voynich MS in the Czech Republic. attracted me, and I thought that I might be able to read it. Your best approach to making sure that nobody steals your idea will be to write an E-mail to several people at the same time, making it clear that they are all in copy. There will be no Voynich MS text following this, but there may be a comment, with metadata referring to the entire page. However, this part is small enough, in my opinion, for me to accept. These three characters: b, u and z were assigned their own 'Basic Eva' letter (b, u and z respectively). >> The Frogguy transliteration alphabet and its use are explained in more detail at a preserved copy of In the The combined transliteration of Currier and D'Imperio, and the transliteration alphabet designed by Currier, have been used well into the 1990's, also in the earliest years of the internet. In our modern society, not many true mysteries remain. (4). (*) Note: Tiltman used the FSG alphabet, but instead of Countless explanations for the MS text (i.e. In the earliest days of the internet, when the transliteration by Currier was being extended, a format was agreed for this new file. There was a method used to create it. that this MS was made by a quack just in order to appear very learned, and thereby attract clients who would buy his medications. The v101 transliteration by Glen Claston ("GC").

Various hypotheses have been put forward as to why and for what purposes the Voynich Manuscript was created. This correct solution is not necessarily the translation of the Voynich MS into plain language, but it is the method how the MS text was generated. These are, actually, pages 68v1,68v2. The aim of this is to allow computer software to analyse the text, for example in order to derive statistics or to aid the interpretation and ideally translation of the text. The script representation in this table uses the capitalisation rule. As mentioned above, the transliteration files all have rather significant differences in format. The FSG transliteration effort is described in detail in Reeds (1995) Marci's memory on this topic was just fine at this time.

By now I have become more curious about the method how the text was generated than about the contents, if there are any. 87. Would Raphael Mnišowský know anything about Rudolf's MS acquisitions? Of the interlinear file there are also several versions.

Originally I strongly opposed to this idea, but I now feel that it would be wrong to discard a priori. All the evidence is sufficiently consistent: the This was based on the transliteration file format of the "LZ" file, and it allowed several useful operations on the text, primarily the removal of the various types of annotations, and the selection of pages depending on their properties. It is often suggested that Voynich MS research hasn't progressed a bit since the MS was discovered by Voynich. You might also be concerned that someone could steal your idea, or you might not get the proper recognition. This tool was called BITRANS and it was developed by Jacques Guy. It is not unusual for medieval and later MSs to have several herbals combined into one MS. Now this brings me to the question: are these independent works, bound together, or are they part of one common philosophy? We can only imagine a multitude of different ways how it could have been created. What is your background? Bennett was assisted in his Voynich MS analysis by Jonina Duker, who was then a sophomore student When Gabriel Landini and myself embarked on a new transliteration of the MS, a project that we named "EVMT" at the time, we decided that a new alphabet, but one based on the principles of Frogguy, would be needed. Note that at the bottom of this page there are also some It rather looks like this was someone's own initiative. Videos at youtube really don't work very well. and do all sorts of conversions. Today, it is in the library of Yale University. The few characters in script in the right margin of, The short words under the paint of a leaf on, The words in Voynichese script that are included in the top margin of. It is clearly stated to be an opinion and it is not even clear that it is his own opinion He has also updated his transliteration over time, based on reports from users. see below. Best regards. (2). Petersen of the Catholic University of America already made a complete hand-written copy of the MS using a complete photocopy of the MS and in some cases, in order to transliterate difficult parts, the actual MS. Now, with this assumption, I am already going against what I wrote above. Recent work published by contributors at the blog of Stephen Bax writing, Inwards writing along the radii of circles, Outwards writing along the radii of circles. The value of N must increase monotonously, starting at 1, for each page. It simply represents in an electronic form the shapes that are seen in the MS. (5). The standard problem with the net is that it is difficult to separate reliable from unreliable information. briefly described here. (12). That he reports the opinion that the MS was by Roger Bacon, which is no longer believed nowadays, does not change that. By its nature, it is the first alphabet that allows to properly represent many of the ligatured characters that were mentioned above. If yes, please don't write to me or to Yale. While defining the alphabet, individual rare characters, or rare parts of ligatures, were assigned a 'high ASCII' code, and the way to include them into transliteration files is defined as follows: @185; for ascii code 185 The FSG transliteration alphabet uses capital letters and numbers. Its design was part of a larger scheme which included: 'Basic Eva' is the set of lower case characters that was identified, and 'Extended Eva' includes the representation of all types of rare characters. some of the text outside the standard paragraphs. It was 1995 before I could join the internet mailing list that had recently started, and I followed all discussions. IMG: Extended Eva character set   This tool was called BITRANS, was written in Pascal and ran in DOS (it still would). etc. This is very clear from handwritten annotatations made on the source copies saying "omit punch" or "punch just this". IMG: v101 keyboard assignments , Sometimes, characters are offset just a bit and it is hard to decide whether there is a space or not. At the same time, some characters in the MS which may be assumed to be a single character are represented by several using this alphabet. The original transliteration of D'Imperio and Currier. Alignment of the two versions was started, but not completed. How/when did you first find out about this MS? Based on an initial effort by Jim Reeds, Gabriel Landini collected the important older transliterations mentioned above into a single interlinear file, meaning that they were presented together line by line. Suppose I am searching for the solution to the Voynich MS, i.e. Anybody who wants to present a Voynich MS solution should present the method how the text that we see in the MS was generated. this method certainly exists and was really used by someone in the fifteenth century; this approach works both in the case that the text is meaningful, and in case it is meaningless. It is therefore also important to realise that your message that you found the solution is not going to get anybody very excited. This is where its earliest known traces are, and historians there are in the best position to find additional evidence about the MS's history, in particular before the time of Rudolf II. The following list, based on a previous version of the Wikipedia Voynich Manuscript page [1] is a list of novels and other material which make use of the Manuscript. Possibly, lots of The main advantages of this approach are: This text generation method should then explain the properties of the Voynich MS text that have been reported extensively in the past, and have been summarised to some extent in the There have been plenty of suggestions for names of individuals who could have written the Voynich MS. Standardisation of the transliteration file format, including a standard way to identify the location of all text items in the MS (called, The capability to design a True Type Font that accurately represents the Voynich MS text, Ligatures including rare single characters. Next-generation transliteration of the text, Location of main transliteration resources, With the < character in the first position of the line. These are the ones that are most usually mentioned and the ones most easily imaginable. Most particularly, it should explain the peculiar word structure, and the variations in 'language' throughout the various sections of the MS. In the earliest days of the internet, there was a thing called 'Usenet' in which people could post information in groups dedicated to various topics, including news, sports, culture, science, etc. The basic Eva alphabet was chosen such that the transliterated text is almost pronouncible. From time to time I am contacted by journalists who want to write an article about the Voynich MS, and invariably they start by asking the same questions. The "GC" file identifies loci by a line number, or a more descriptive identification in other cases. Not a living soul knows what it means. Just to repeat the critial point: the Voynich MS exists, it is real and it was really created by someone, some time ago. It is odd how little advanced such tools are nowadays, even in spite of the fact that most people interested in the Voynich MS that I know have far better computer skills than history knowledge. This showed that there are some minor inconsistencies in counting the different loci, which could be resolved. This table has been re-drawn using the Eva Hand-1 font. For me, there is little reason to discard this evidence for being unreliable. It's a conscious decision after weighing the probabilities, and it will always be possible to go back, should evidence to the contrary show up. Enjoy the meticulous illustrations of botanical fantasies. If yes, I'm afraid it's not looking very good. At the moment I still have plenty of ideas, but no "hot leads". Table 11 summarises the coverage of these loci in each of the five main transliteration files. What is usually referred to as pharmaceutical for me is just another herbal part. This is more convenient, but it has the result that their rendition in the True Type Font is sub-optimal. If a proposed solution suggests that the MS represents a meaningful text in some language, a critical test will be to convert a real, documented piece of text from the proposed area, time frame and language into Voynichese and then show that this generated text exhibits the above-mentioned properties of the Voynich MS text. The manuscript is made up of about 240 vellum pages, and was probably written in the early 15th century in northern Italy. They are presented roughly in chronological order. Table 1: definition of the main historic alphabets. For me, there are several areas where further progress is most needed: better use of expertise, better availability of information and better tools. Of course, in both of these scenarios the text of the MS may very well be meaningless. There are probably a dozen people every year who believe or claim that they have found the solution. Present a decoding method, which includes an assumption about the plain text language (possibly based on some observation), and the steps needed to convert the Voynich MS characters to this; Apply this procedure to a section of the Voynich MS text and present the result. This alphabet uses the capital letters A-Z and the numbers 0-9 (i.e. I developed my own tool to take an existing transliteration file and extract from it only those parts I wanted to analyse: one particular quire, one page, only all labels, etc. The MS has been dated, primarily using radio carbon dating, to 1404-1438 with 95% probability, A complete set of high-resolution digital colour scans is available, A complete electronic transliteration of the text has been made, The history of the MS from about 1637 to present has been largely clarified, Medieval MSs in general, their manufacture and classification/dating. In general, I just don't know which is the correct or even most likely answer, so I prefer to keep all options open. The result of this exercise was the definition of a new format, which I have called IVTFF (Intermediate Voynich Transliteration File Format). This document, in which he added many interesting annotations, is still preserved in the William F. Friedman collection of the Marshall Library in Lexington (Va) To add some speculation to this, I would not be surprised if Raphael knew about this MS already in Tepenec' time, picked it up after his death, and handed it to Sendivogius to study and hopefully decipher it. Why should that be. Same as above, but identifiying the source of the transliteration (a person or a group) by the character T. Lines indented significantly due to drawings or other text, Dislocated text in free-floating paragraphs, Right-justified lines in normal paragraphs, All labels and dislocated words or characters, Individual words or characters not near a drawing element, Labels of astronomical or cosmological elements which are not stars or zodiac labels, Labels of containers in the pharmaceutical section, Labels of herb fragments in the pharmaceutical section, Labels of nymphs in the biological/balneological section, Labels of full plants in the herbal section, Labels of 'tubes and tubs' in the biological/balneological section, Individual pieces of 'external(?)' As already mentioned on the [r:s:d]. (Mysteries In Hindi ) In today's video I'll be telling you about Voynich Manuscript which is Mysterious and Impossible to understand. Jorge Stolfi also introduced the useful feature in the "LSI" file where a single locus may be represented several times, as transliterated by different people. The manuscript is known for … No signficant transliterations have been made using this alphabet. To my surprise, I realized that this IS NOT the complete book. There is a second page addressing some more specific topics related to Voynich MS transliteration. I personally maintain that there aren't really two different languages, but there is a continuous change in language Contemporary classical composer Hanspeter Kyburz's 1995 chamber work The Voynich Cipher Manuscript, for chorus& ensemble is inspired by the manuscript. The pharmaceutical pages have about 240 drawings with labels, but again there is a hint that this is incomplete and possibly pages are missing. At the same time the MS does not make any sense as it is unreadable. It is correct to treat this evidence with care. (3). The Voynich Manuscript remains as mysterious as it was the day it reached the hands of an Emperor who reportedly paid the hefty sum of 600 gold ducats (an equivalent of $900,000 today) to have it in his possession. Hello Konstantin! Also for the v101 alphabet a True Type font has been designed, and like the Eva font it allows high-quality rendition of the Voynich MS text in electronic documents (HTML, Word). In reality, we don't yet know whether the Voynich MS represents a meaningful text. As reported by Brumbaugh It rather looks like this was someone's own initiative. Additional relevant information about the pages or the text may be included. Alternative forms derived from this are available in several places, see for example the following section. In this respect, the work of Prescott Currier, who identified two (or more) hands and two languages, is often quoted Another page. The biggest problem is to decide whether two almost-similar-looking written shapes are two different ones, or two representations of the same one, where the variation is just caused by handwriting variations. Many years before that, in the 1930's, Fr. (11). I am also happy that I have been able to contribute to an increased awareness of, and interest in the Voynich MS in the Czech Republic. attracted me, and I thought that I might be able to read it. Your best approach to making sure that nobody steals your idea will be to write an E-mail to several people at the same time, making it clear that they are all in copy. There will be no Voynich MS text following this, but there may be a comment, with metadata referring to the entire page. However, this part is small enough, in my opinion, for me to accept. These three characters: b, u and z were assigned their own 'Basic Eva' letter (b, u and z respectively). >> The Frogguy transliteration alphabet and its use are explained in more detail at a preserved copy of In the The combined transliteration of Currier and D'Imperio, and the transliteration alphabet designed by Currier, have been used well into the 1990's, also in the earliest years of the internet. In our modern society, not many true mysteries remain. (4). (*) Note: Tiltman used the FSG alphabet, but instead of Countless explanations for the MS text (i.e. In the earliest days of the internet, when the transliteration by Currier was being extended, a format was agreed for this new file. There was a method used to create it. that this MS was made by a quack just in order to appear very learned, and thereby attract clients who would buy his medications.

Tamil Nadu. (1). The MS appears to have become some sort of public property where anything can be written about it, and presented as being the truth until proven wrong. here. In this case the locus indicator is post-fixed by an "author ID", which is a single upper case character. Maintaining compatibility with the use of BITRANS. So, I downloaded it from your web page (link “Download the complete book Voynich Manuscript PDF”. a new page that addresses the needs for an improved transliteration system. This has occasionally been suggested, but never by specialists who have seen and handled the actual MS. VTT is now obsolete. These characters have traditionally been called 'weirdoes', though here I will use the term 'rare characters'. Some of the pages are text only, while others have text and illustrations. The Magazine for Science and Reason. Thanks to scientific advances we are now able to understand most of what’s going on in not only our world, but the universe beyond, as well. This typically (read: always) produces a "raw text" that is not directly meaningful or understandable; Convert this "raw text" into something more or less understandable (="clear text") using various interpretations and explanations. The Voynich Manuscript has a limited and compact alphabet, with roughly 18-22 characters occurring with particular frequency: and yet Bax concludes from his multi-language linguistic analysis that three of these (EVA r, EVA m, and EVA n) encipher the letter ‘R’. While transliterating, one is continually forced to make such decisions, and it is unavoidable that these are subjective. The Voynich manuscript was introduced to the modern world in 1912 when antique dealer Wilfrid Voynich acquired it. Many such ways have been suggested in the past, others will be suggested in future. This is the second main transliteration used at this site, and in the following it will be referred to by the abbreviation C-D. Table 1 below shows the three above-mentioned alphabets together. I know that this is difficult. I have used it a lot, long ago, but it runs in MS-DOS (really!) Apparently, Voynich Manuscript has a more complicated and deeper letter structure. 'Sh' for Sh. The MS has several different sections: herbal, astronomical, zodiac, biological, cosmological, recipes. This is the start of a piece of text of locus type 'Ab'. given below. Various hypotheses have been put forward as to why and for what purposes the Voynich Manuscript was created. This correct solution is not necessarily the translation of the Voynich MS into plain language, but it is the method how the MS text was generated. These are, actually, pages 68v1,68v2. The aim of this is to allow computer software to analyse the text, for example in order to derive statistics or to aid the interpretation and ideally translation of the text. The script representation in this table uses the capitalisation rule. As mentioned above, the transliteration files all have rather significant differences in format. The FSG transliteration effort is described in detail in Reeds (1995) Marci's memory on this topic was just fine at this time. The file format(s) used nowadays are far removed from modern representation standards. The Voynich MS does not look to me like a document commissioned by a client. still available for downloading. Bennett's alphabet has not been used outside of this publication. To some extent this is made more difficult by the absence of other texts using the same'script' and a lack of other context (where it actually originated and who was involved in its creation etc). There are signs that the MS has been copied from a draft. and the Yale "copyflo" If I assume that the base language of the Voynich MS is Latin (which is not an unreasonable assumption of course) then I exclude a lot of hypothetical solutions, for example that the text is meaningless. Th. Who knows... Now the structure is not very rigid, and some words do not fit the structure at all. It includes in particular the above-mentioned version of the Takeshi Takahashi transliteration, as it was in 1999. The converted transliteration by Takeshi Takahashi that is included in the Landini-Stolfi interlinear file. The Voynich Manuscript: The Book Nobody Can Read | Skeptical Inquirer. A number of characters using lower case were added to this alphabet. All in all, the evidence for this is quite thin, so I am ready to change my mind on this point. However, there is more to the MS than just its text, and very significant progress has been made in many areas: Personally, I am also impressed by recent work, in part confirming older work that wasn't very well documented I am looking for evidence for this, but for the moment, this is just an idea, no more. Though by profession he was a lawyer, he was deeply interested in alchemy and secret writing, and also writes about his research into Rudolf's plain text and enciphered manuscripts For this reason, I will try to go on systematically and within a logical framework. The VTT tool could be instructed to include or exclude pages with any combination of variables set to certain values. However, it has a distinct disadvantage in that it is not very well suited for the type of numerical analysis mentioned at the top of this page, primarily because of its frequent use of the apostrophe, and to a lesser extent the mixture of letters and numbers. A new study claims that the Voynich manuscript, a medieval text which is undeciphered to this day, describes historical events, like the eruption of a volcano in the Mediterranean Sea. What should I do? Could the MS be a hoax? This topic is addressed from three different aspects, on three (sets of) pages: This page addresses the second part, the transliteration of the text. There are quite a number of completely trustworthy experts, but be aware they are also quite critical. It summarises historical transliteration efforts and describes the present state of affairs. In parellel to this, a completely new type of transliteration alphabet was designed: The 'Frogguy' transliteration alphabet was designed by Jacques Guy in 1991. Table 4 shows all such rare characters. text analysis section of this site. Any proposed solution should properly explain this. Long de 240 pages manuscrites, il est accompagné de dessins de plantes, de nus et d'observations astronomiques. To me there can be no doubt that the Voynich MS is from the fifteenth century. A printout of the transliteration was discovered by Jim Reeds in the above-mentioned Marshall library, and together with Jacques Guy he entered it in computer readable form. This is a. Unfortunately, the differences between the above three formats are quite significant, and the v101 transliteration file uses yet another, completely different representation. This useful feature has also been included in the "Voynich Information Browser" of Elias Schwerdtfeger, for which If you think that you found the solution, or also if you are sure that you found the solution, but you are not sure how to announce it to the world, I can only recommend to describe it as clearly as possible on a web site. The letters in Voynich Manuscript are, in a … Epi-07 அறிவியலால் விளக்க முடியாத தீராத மர்மங்கள் -Tamil Vs Maya (Science Mystery in Tamil) - Duration: 6:48. This copy of the Takahashi transliteration will be referred to as IT. I found the solution. The first is the previously mentioned capitalisation rule introduced already by Jacques Guy. (7). By now I have become more curious about the method how the text was generated than about the contents, if there are any. 87. Would Raphael Mnišowský know anything about Rudolf's MS acquisitions? Of the interlinear file there are also several versions. He then converted this garbled or even meaningless text, using the inverse of the 'decoding method' of bullet 1, and wrote it in a strange alphabet. Originally I strongly opposed to this idea, but I now feel that it would be wrong to discard a priori. All the evidence is sufficiently consistent: the This was based on the transliteration file format of the "LZ" file, and it allowed several useful operations on the text, primarily the removal of the various types of annotations, and the selection of pages depending on their properties. It is often suggested that Voynich MS research hasn't progressed a bit since the MS was discovered by Voynich. You might also be concerned that someone could steal your idea, or you might not get the proper recognition. This tool was called BITRANS and it was developed by Jacques Guy. It is not unusual for medieval and later MSs to have several herbals combined into one MS. Now this brings me to the question: are these independent works, bound together, or are they part of one common philosophy? We can only imagine a multitude of different ways how it could have been created. What is your background? Bennett was assisted in his Voynich MS analysis by Jonina Duker, who was then a sophomore student When Gabriel Landini and myself embarked on a new transliteration of the MS, a project that we named "EVMT" at the time, we decided that a new alphabet, but one based on the principles of Frogguy, would be needed. Note that at the bottom of this page there are also some It rather looks like this was someone's own initiative. Videos at youtube really don't work very well. and do all sorts of conversions. Today, it is in the library of Yale University. The few characters in script in the right margin of, The short words under the paint of a leaf on, The words in Voynichese script that are included in the top margin of. It is clearly stated to be an opinion and it is not even clear that it is his own opinion He has also updated his transliteration over time, based on reports from users. see below. Best regards. (2). Petersen of the Catholic University of America already made a complete hand-written copy of the MS using a complete photocopy of the MS and in some cases, in order to transliterate difficult parts, the actual MS. Now, with this assumption, I am already going against what I wrote above. Recent work published by contributors at the blog of Stephen Bax writing, Inwards writing along the radii of circles, Outwards writing along the radii of circles. The value of N must increase monotonously, starting at 1, for each page. It simply represents in an electronic form the shapes that are seen in the MS. (5). The standard problem with the net is that it is difficult to separate reliable from unreliable information. briefly described here. (12). That he reports the opinion that the MS was by Roger Bacon, which is no longer believed nowadays, does not change that. By its nature, it is the first alphabet that allows to properly represent many of the ligatured characters that were mentioned above. If yes, please don't write to me or to Yale. While defining the alphabet, individual rare characters, or rare parts of ligatures, were assigned a 'high ASCII' code, and the way to include them into transliteration files is defined as follows: @185; for ascii code 185 The FSG transliteration alphabet uses capital letters and numbers. Its design was part of a larger scheme which included: 'Basic Eva' is the set of lower case characters that was identified, and 'Extended Eva' includes the representation of all types of rare characters. some of the text outside the standard paragraphs. It was 1995 before I could join the internet mailing list that had recently started, and I followed all discussions. IMG: Extended Eva character set   This tool was called BITRANS, was written in Pascal and ran in DOS (it still would). etc. This is very clear from handwritten annotatations made on the source copies saying "omit punch" or "punch just this". IMG: v101 keyboard assignments , Sometimes, characters are offset just a bit and it is hard to decide whether there is a space or not. At the same time, some characters in the MS which may be assumed to be a single character are represented by several using this alphabet. The original transliteration of D'Imperio and Currier. Alignment of the two versions was started, but not completed. How/when did you first find out about this MS? Based on an initial effort by Jim Reeds, Gabriel Landini collected the important older transliterations mentioned above into a single interlinear file, meaning that they were presented together line by line. Suppose I am searching for the solution to the Voynich MS, i.e. Anybody who wants to present a Voynich MS solution should present the method how the text that we see in the MS was generated. this method certainly exists and was really used by someone in the fifteenth century; this approach works both in the case that the text is meaningful, and in case it is meaningless. It is therefore also important to realise that your message that you found the solution is not going to get anybody very excited. This is where its earliest known traces are, and historians there are in the best position to find additional evidence about the MS's history, in particular before the time of Rudolf II. The following list, based on a previous version of the Wikipedia Voynich Manuscript page [1] is a list of novels and other material which make use of the Manuscript. Possibly, lots of The main advantages of this approach are: This text generation method should then explain the properties of the Voynich MS text that have been reported extensively in the past, and have been summarised to some extent in the There have been plenty of suggestions for names of individuals who could have written the Voynich MS. Standardisation of the transliteration file format, including a standard way to identify the location of all text items in the MS (called, The capability to design a True Type Font that accurately represents the Voynich MS text, Ligatures including rare single characters. Next-generation transliteration of the text, Location of main transliteration resources, With the < character in the first position of the line. These are the ones that are most usually mentioned and the ones most easily imaginable. Most particularly, it should explain the peculiar word structure, and the variations in 'language' throughout the various sections of the MS. In the earliest days of the internet, there was a thing called 'Usenet' in which people could post information in groups dedicated to various topics, including news, sports, culture, science, etc. The basic Eva alphabet was chosen such that the transliterated text is almost pronouncible. From time to time I am contacted by journalists who want to write an article about the Voynich MS, and invariably they start by asking the same questions. The "GC" file identifies loci by a line number, or a more descriptive identification in other cases. Not a living soul knows what it means. Just to repeat the critial point: the Voynich MS exists, it is real and it was really created by someone, some time ago. It is odd how little advanced such tools are nowadays, even in spite of the fact that most people interested in the Voynich MS that I know have far better computer skills than history knowledge. This showed that there are some minor inconsistencies in counting the different loci, which could be resolved. This table has been re-drawn using the Eva Hand-1 font. For me, there is little reason to discard this evidence for being unreliable. It's a conscious decision after weighing the probabilities, and it will always be possible to go back, should evidence to the contrary show up. Enjoy the meticulous illustrations of botanical fantasies. If yes, I'm afraid it's not looking very good. At the moment I still have plenty of ideas, but no "hot leads". Table 11 summarises the coverage of these loci in each of the five main transliteration files. What is usually referred to as pharmaceutical for me is just another herbal part. This is more convenient, but it has the result that their rendition in the True Type Font is sub-optimal. If a proposed solution suggests that the MS represents a meaningful text in some language, a critical test will be to convert a real, documented piece of text from the proposed area, time frame and language into Voynichese and then show that this generated text exhibits the above-mentioned properties of the Voynich MS text. The manuscript is made up of about 240 vellum pages, and was probably written in the early 15th century in northern Italy. They are presented roughly in chronological order. Table 1: definition of the main historic alphabets. For me, there are several areas where further progress is most needed: better use of expertise, better availability of information and better tools. Of course, in both of these scenarios the text of the MS may very well be meaningless. There are probably a dozen people every year who believe or claim that they have found the solution. Present a decoding method, which includes an assumption about the plain text language (possibly based on some observation), and the steps needed to convert the Voynich MS characters to this; Apply this procedure to a section of the Voynich MS text and present the result. This alphabet uses the capital letters A-Z and the numbers 0-9 (i.e. I developed my own tool to take an existing transliteration file and extract from it only those parts I wanted to analyse: one particular quire, one page, only all labels, etc. The MS has been dated, primarily using radio carbon dating, to 1404-1438 with 95% probability, A complete set of high-resolution digital colour scans is available, A complete electronic transliteration of the text has been made, The history of the MS from about 1637 to present has been largely clarified, Medieval MSs in general, their manufacture and classification/dating. In general, I just don't know which is the correct or even most likely answer, so I prefer to keep all options open. The result of this exercise was the definition of a new format, which I have called IVTFF (Intermediate Voynich Transliteration File Format). This document, in which he added many interesting annotations, is still preserved in the William F. Friedman collection of the Marshall Library in Lexington (Va) To add some speculation to this, I would not be surprised if Raphael knew about this MS already in Tepenec' time, picked it up after his death, and handed it to Sendivogius to study and hopefully decipher it. Why should that be. Same as above, but identifiying the source of the transliteration (a person or a group) by the character T. Lines indented significantly due to drawings or other text, Dislocated text in free-floating paragraphs, Right-justified lines in normal paragraphs, All labels and dislocated words or characters, Individual words or characters not near a drawing element, Labels of astronomical or cosmological elements which are not stars or zodiac labels, Labels of containers in the pharmaceutical section, Labels of herb fragments in the pharmaceutical section, Labels of nymphs in the biological/balneological section, Labels of full plants in the herbal section, Labels of 'tubes and tubs' in the biological/balneological section, Individual pieces of 'external(?)' As already mentioned on the [r:s:d]. (Mysteries In Hindi ) In today's video I'll be telling you about Voynich Manuscript which is Mysterious and Impossible to understand. Jorge Stolfi also introduced the useful feature in the "LSI" file where a single locus may be represented several times, as transliterated by different people.

At the same time the MS does not make any sense as it is unreadable. It is correct to treat this evidence with care. (3). The Voynich Manuscript remains as mysterious as it was the day it reached the hands of an Emperor who reportedly paid the hefty sum of 600 gold ducats (an equivalent of $900,000 today) to have it in his possession. Hello Konstantin! Also for the v101 alphabet a True Type font has been designed, and like the Eva font it allows high-quality rendition of the Voynich MS text in electronic documents (HTML, Word). In reality, we don't yet know whether the Voynich MS represents a meaningful text. As reported by Brumbaugh It rather looks like this was someone's own initiative. Additional relevant information about the pages or the text may be included. Alternative forms derived from this are available in several places, see for example the following section. In this respect, the work of Prescott Currier, who identified two (or more) hands and two languages, is often quoted Another page. The biggest problem is to decide whether two almost-similar-looking written shapes are two different ones, or two representations of the same one, where the variation is just caused by handwriting variations. Many years before that, in the 1930's, Fr. (11). I am also happy that I have been able to contribute to an increased awareness of, and interest in the Voynich MS in the Czech Republic. attracted me, and I thought that I might be able to read it.

These three characters: b, u and z were assigned their own 'Basic Eva' letter (b, u and z respectively). >> The Frogguy transliteration alphabet and its use are explained in more detail at a preserved copy of In the The combined transliteration of Currier and D'Imperio, and the transliteration alphabet designed by Currier, have been used well into the 1990's, also in the earliest years of the internet. In our modern society, not many true mysteries remain. (4). (*) Note: Tiltman used the FSG alphabet, but instead of Countless explanations for the MS text (i.e. In the earliest days of the internet, when the transliteration by Currier was being extended, a format was agreed for this new file.
