Diane, your post is very interesting, but statements like this:
"As far as I was able to discover* nobody in Voynich studies had ever heard of Guglielmo until I began writing up a few posts in 2015, not only..."
are demeaning and also quite wrong.
You don't know what trails researchers are following. I am only one person in the Voynich community, and yet it would take weeks for me to post short abstracts on all the personages I've been following and have not yet revealed to the public. I am sure I am not alone—many researchers choose not write up their findings until they have substantive support or new insights to go with the information, so one cannot make assumptions about what they have or haven't discovered.
It would be more professional to say, "As far as I was able to discover, nobody in Voynich studies has written up relevant new findings regarding XYZ..." and even more professional yet, to simply write them up with or without citations (depending on which applies), minus the editorial commentary about who did what first. Let the data tell the story.
