New Blog post: "Mysterious Steganography"- a Damning Observation

[ReneZ]

It's one thing to argue that Voynich could have found some old parchment and mixed ink and pigments using fifteenth-century techniques. Sure, that's possible, albeit remotely so.

Before his 1912 major deal with the Jesuits, Voynich was not a big-time dealer. Had he had access to a stock of genuine old parchment, he would have been able immediately to make some good money by selling it in this form.

What few people know is that he actually did this with genuine old paper. He sold sheets of these to a Scottish artist whose name escapes me. This is reported by Millicent Sowerby, who worked with Voynich from 1912 - 1914.
