>'Till ~2020, Voynich research was pretty much reserved for nut jobs, and the very occasional academic intent upon career suicide. I wouldn't say that.

He wasn't viewed as a crackpot but was and is revered in the field of cryptography. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_F._Friedman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_F._Friedman
