Basil Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Re: The Voynich Manuscript "Well' date=' from what we have deciphered, it appears to be a repetitive tract on transmuting eggs and ham into a green color."[/quote'] "That, and something about informing 'the Hebrew King Who Exists' about how unappealing such food is." The Hebrew King Who Exists is not a product of Basil's Twisted Imagination. Further, I Am Not Samuel. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you, by any chance, read Dr. Seuss Goes to War? And I'd love to see the illustrations you use for the grimoire..... And - what is Vehmic script? I've heard of something called a "Vehmic Court" but I'm not sure even that isn't legendary. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary looks like something Dr. Seuss would draw....

The League of the Holy Court, The Vehmgericht, vigilante secret society extraordinare. They used their own alphabet & encrypted their writings, and I happen to like the look of the Vehmic characters better than the ones from the Inquisitorial alphabet. Oh, and check it. I've so got to send a copy of this to the Foglios... Proof from the Voynich Manuscript of early human Winslow Cultists.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmadanNaBriona Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Re: The Voynich Manuscript Anywhere I could get a look at a sample of Vehmic script? I poked around online for a full alphabet or font, but all the hits referenced back to the same book I have, Magical Alphabets by Nigel Pennick. Danzig did use it on an album cover, however... Here's your sample Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right, but I'll double check the illustration key to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Obvious Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Re: The Voynich Manuscript Color me dubious about the translation. If he can provide a complete translation that can be logically deconstructed I'll believe it. Especially if the written description gives some botanists an "oh yeah, I see it now" moment when looking at the pictures of heretofore unidentified plants.

Lucius Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Re: The Voynich Manuscript Yeah, there's a reason I said he was just "blathering." Too much of what he's saying sounds like total bs. Lucius Alexander Feed it to a palindromedary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmadanNaBriona Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Re: The Voynich Manuscript Kinda reminds me of the weirdness that occurred at Runamo, where the researcher entered a sort of trance state and had a vision of a suspected bind-rune that would decrypt the inscription. Which he then applied to come up with a fairly accurate if somewhat mundane description of a particular battle in typical period Norse poetic style. Geologists have subsequently proven the formation is natural, not an inscription. Never underestimate the weirdness that brews in the northern latitudes.

st barbara Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Re: The Voynich Manuscript I have another book on the Voynich Manuscript but, typically, I haven't got around to reading it yet. It is "The Voynich Manuscript" By Gerry Kennedy and Rob Churchill ("Inner Traditions Books" , 2004). It might be of interest to someone.
