Register or Login to view.When you say that Touwaide is referring to both manuscripts - the one made in Lombardy (I assume that's what you mean, and not culturally "Lombard"), and the other manuscript that wasn't made in Lombardy, and say - if I take your meaning correctly - that Touwaide's description of the binding alludes to those two manuscripts... can you provide a bibliographic reference for that? I'd like to read it in the original before I quote it.
You may find the answer here:

and since you have already commented on this extensively, many times,

I am not sure what is the purpose of your question.
Please do read the original paper.
He is not talking about the binding of these two manuscripts, but about aspects of their similarity
with the Voynich MS.
Many of the guesses you make in your above-mentioned commentary are incorrect. I have
communicated with Alain since the middle of 2014, and discussed the Voynich MS with him
(and his partner, equally a historian of medicine) in person quite extensively. He wrote his paper
after that, but it should be considered a summary paper in which he is not divulging his
more specific views. Whether he will still do that I cannot say.
