Voynich manuscript research

Global script fingerprint search

2026-09-29

Do the recurring visual forms of Voynich writing, taken together, resemble any known historical writing tradition more strongly than chance would produce?

Zodiac semantic-anchor experiment

2026-09-29

Do original Voynich visual observations on the twelve zodiac diagrams show a reproducible sign/month-linked pattern that could serve as a semantic anchor, under permutation, source-view and held-out controls?

Independent visual-transcription audit — v005

2026-09-29

What original visual writing observations survive the corrected independent full-source audit, with uncertainty and Yale provenance preserved?

Full-source neutral visual transcription — v004

2026-09-29

What visually appears written across the 213 authoritative Yale views, with source and segmentation uncertainty preserved?

Blind structural-language comparison

2026-09-29

Without assuming a language, which known language types does the structural behaviour of Voynich writing resemble, under blind, frozen, controlled scoring?

MS 408 before Rudolf II: provenance and book networks

2026-09-28

Can an evidence-supported physical transmission path be reconstructed for approximately 1430–1599?

Gallows/bench vs German cursiva construction study

2026-09-28

Do Voynich gallows/bench constructions share real construction principles with a German/Central-European scribal tradition, or were earlier matches generic looped handwriting?

9-like form and scholastic Latin abbreviation

2026-09-28

Does the recurring Voynich 9/g-like construction share recognizable medieval Latin scribal machinery, and what did that machinery do?

LJS 456 secret-script follow-up

2026-09-28

What is the unusual 9/6/3-like sign text in the 1394 manuscript LJS 456, and is its resemblance to Voynich meaningful?

Historical medical-manuscript comparison

2026-09-28

Does Voynich's writing look more like medieval medical/pharmaceutical working notation than ordinary contemporary writing?

Voynich–Cappelli visual fingerprint comparison

2026-09-28

Do distinctive Voynich constructions match medieval Latin abbreviation signs catalogued by Cappelli?

Double-loop and open-bend form study

2026-09-28

Starting from f016r, does the double-loop / S-like form recur as one visual family across the manuscript?

Davis vs. Timm handwriting diagnostic audit

2026-09-26

Do Yale pixels support Davis's proposed hands or Timm's single-writer view on the diagnostic forms both cite?

Writer vs. context analysis

2026-09-26

Are recurring similar Voynich forms better predicted by proposed writer or by their visual surroundings?

Historical explorer has partial coverage; its limitations are preserved.

Blind handwriting / authorship analysis

2026-09-26

Does the measured handwriting fall into stable writer groups when compared blind across the manuscript?

Manuscript-wide internal 28-pattern survey

2026-09-25

Which visual shapes and combinations recur across all 213 Yale images, without assigning identities?

Full neutral extraction and validation

2026-09-25

Can all 213 Yale TIFFs be extracted neutrally with every region traceable to source pixels?

Historical explorer has partial coverage; its limitations are preserved.

f1r 16 consequential-case review

2026-09-25

Which 16 consequential f1r segmentation cases should be accepted, rejected or kept separate?

f1r high-resolution calibration and review

2026-09-25

How does f1r extract from the native Yale TIFF compared with the earlier PDF-derived run?

First f1r calibration and PDF source audit

2026-09-24

Does the supplied PDF provide more manuscript detail, and what does a controlled f1r rerun show?
