Can anyone explain what issue made Stolfi leave the Voynich research? I've seen this mentioned many times before but no one touches the subject. I would really like to know, it's a bit of history anyway.
Actually, Stolfi would be my choice.
I was not involved with Voynich studies when Prof Stolfi was active. But I have read posts from researchers who were. The sense I get is that Stolfi gracefully bowed out without much drama, because he found the dominant cliques in this scene not receptive to his ideas, and not particularly kind to him.
I also get the sense, after reading his whole website, that he said all he had to say on the topic, had no more to add, and was moving on to other interests and pursuits.
It takes a very thick skin to engage a clique of people who haven’t accepted you as a member, and sell them ideas that are new and unfamiliar. In a perfect world, good ideas with good data to back them up would be given a fair chance by any and all experts on the topic. Unfortunately, because we’re dealing with human beings with egos, biases, and vested interests, it’s rarely that simple.
