Which other manuscript contain the most Voynichese glyphs? - Koen G - 07-06-2018
A hot topic on the forum these days is how and why the VM script resembles Latin script, and people like JKP have done a good job of stressing the importance of this resemblance.
I've been thinking about a way to make this more tangible for people like myself who don't have that much experience yet reading various scripts. And at the same time, impose some system on the comparisons.
Let's assume for this exercise the following:
- The Voynichese glyph set was composed at one point before or during the MS creation.
- Voynichese glyphs were chosen, intentionally or not, resembling more or less contemporary Latin glyphs, likely including contemporary scribal habits.
I've made an example from the Trinity college herbal, not because it must be the best candidate but because it is a slightly comparable script which I've studied for a while. I'll try to add psd template as an attachment as well. I'm going by purely visual similarity, not thinking too much about meaning. Not using numerals for 4, 8, 9 since those will be common to most MSS. added "iin" as one glyph to keep options open. "i" is a minim so it makes little sense to add it separately.
