Quote:That's a conclusion I don't necessarily follow, Anton. How many hands did Currier discern in the main text again? Some five or six? Which one does the Voynichese writing match? Why can't it have been written by a later owner who also mastered the script?
The concept of "Currier hands" (as opposed to "Currier languages") is something vague. I do not see any substantial differences between these aror and sheey and those aror and sheey which are found elsewhere in the main script. The same angle of r, the same apostrophe extending toward the bottom of the "c" (which is frequently observed in the main text), and, most notably, the same "decomposition" of y into "с" and tail. If anyone sees any substantial differences let them be discussed.
"Later owner" is possible, although, ceteris paribus, less likely, but nonetheless that would imply the person mastering both "German" and Voynichese which essentially is the main point which is advanced by the observation that we discuss.
About the spatial order, that would apply to the first line (but would not be corroborated by the shape of "x", for example), but as to the last line, the line interval here is held the same, so it's definitely been written after the spell was already in place, not the spell fit above it afterwards.
