[split] The Strange Thing on 116v

[Morten St. George]

Morten St George: My scan of the VMS is of poor quality. Enlargement to better distinguish the writing quickly turns into blur. These days, teenage kids can make better resolution scans than that. I checked out purchasing the facsimile book but reader reviews say the resolution is equally bad.

Which scans are you using? The Voynich Manuscript is a very small manuscript, about the size of a trade paperback. What we see is actually more clear than what one sees in real life without additional aids such as magnifying glasses and microsopes.

Before you start disparaging the Beinecke Library, perhaps we should figure out whether you are looking at the high-res scans.

I am looking at a PDF file that I downloaded a few years ago. If now a better resolution is available, please let me know where to find it. Thanks.
