There is so little of real substance that is known about the Voynich manuscript

The last sentence "There is so little of real substance that is known about the Voynich manuscript" is [u' wrote: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.wrong[/u], but this is exactly the thought by people who prefer not to read earlier work (or really have no time).

It is by propagating this misinformation that people may be led to believe there is no need to inform oneself.

I, myself, have read plenty of earlier writing on the Voynich. For example, I have read every word on your website and I have read enough about the Voynich to be pretty confident that having read even more I am very likely to come to the same conclusion. And having read what I have, I have reluctantly come to the afore stated opinion on the limitations of our knowledge. Some can see this as a glass half-full or half-empty question, but I know how it appears to me. I am not trying to minimising people's efforts or achievements, but point out that present knowledge of the manuscript is very limited.
