The image at the top is a decoding of a couple of lines of text.
The decoding yields extremely boring Latin, so I'm not terribly surprised if the investigator decided not to decode the entire document.
- quinndupont 9y agoThat's the curious thing: to an academic there's no such thing as "extremely boring Latin", especially when it comes to the Voynich. Why we're only given a tantalizing line is odd. Perhaps there is no single "universal" solution? Perhaps this is just a guess that happens to roughly work for a single line, but nothing else?
- fusiongyro 9y agoI agree. To claim a solution without writing out the whole thing so it can be analyzed in depth seems absurd to me. I'm also not convinced that the statistical analyses that have been thrown at it would fail to detect patterns of meaning that are obscured merely by abbreviation.
