Abbreviated Latin.
>The abbreviations correspond to the standard pattern of words used in the Herbarium Apuleius Platonicus – aq = aqua (water), dq = decoque / decoctio (decoction), con = confundo (mix), ris = radacis / radix (root), s aiij = seminis ana iij (3 grains each), etc." So this wasn't a code at all; it was just shorthand. The text would have been very familiar to anyone at the time who was interested in medicine.
>When he consulted the Trotula and De Balneis Puteolanis, two commonly copied medieval Latin medical books, he realized that a lot of the Voynich Manuscript's text and images had been plagiarized directly from them (they, in turn, were copied in part from ancient Latin texts by Galen, Pliny, and Hippocrates). During the Middle Ages, it was very common for scribes to reproduce older texts to preserve the knowledge in them.

How?? There's no reference to the manuscript in that screen shot at all... Only vague references to GoT and LotR being documentaries... Yawn.

The only pathetic thing here is objectively and unironicaly you and what you type, you useless cunt.
Well, at least they decoded it.
>>19571930
Your reading comprehension is shit. Right about the middle of the wall of text, the guy describes the Voynich as being some sort of medical text.
