Doireann's theory of Lepontic/Cisapline Celtic
#1
Hello all! I'm a new user just learning the ins and outs of this forum so please excuse me if I'm posting in the wrong place.

I wanted to discuss Doireann's theory of the Voynich manuscript being written in phonetic Cisalpine Celtic with a "leptonic variation syntax". She believes the author might have been Christine De Pizan. She has been in contact with Lisa Fagin Davis and claims her translation "meets the criteria" that Dr. Fagin Davis laid out in her 2020 paper. There is a YouTube video in which she discusses her translation and she's currently looking for help from more fluent Irish speakers. 

Podcast feature about her translation efforts (Around the 35 minute mark she starts to explain her theory) 

I personally don't believe the author is Christine De Pizan (not sure if I should get into that) but I thought her theory of Irish/Celtic was interesting. It seems she's proposing something along the lines of a substitution cipher and claims there are not multiple languages within the text. What do you all think? Opinions on if this theory holds any merit?
