#The voynich manuscript translation crack#

This is quite clear as abortions are flushed out of a womanвЂ™ body through a pipe. The second picture shows a miscarriage or abortion. The Daily Mail has given some pictures and translations from Chesire (see the link under вЂњsourcesвЂќ). One of the claims is that the translations were difficult because it is not only written in proto-Romance but also features Latin phrases and abbreviations, something that had already been posited by author and lawyer Joseph Martin Feely in 1943 and pushed again by television writer Nicholas Gibbs (see вЂњread moreвЂќ). It has also been pointed out that the translations that he made were either already known (the Zodiac sign names being of Romance origin even though they were probably written down later) or educated guesses based on what had already been discovered. The only way to disprove Fagin DavisвЂ™ hypothesis is for Chesire to translate large chunks of the manuscript instead of a few words as he has now done.

She states that Chesire looks at a word he thinks he can understand due to its proximity to a drawing and then keeps on looking in medieval Romance-language dictionaries until he finds a compatible word. Lisa Fagin Davis, who has a PhD in Medieval Studies from Yale University and has catalogued medieval manuscript collections at Yale University, the University of Pennsylvania, the Walters Art Museum, Wellesley College, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Boston Public Library, and several private collections and has written about codicology in manuscripts, states there is no proto-Romance language. It did not take long for rebuttals to be published. He has yet to translate the entire text which is obviously needed to check his claim as previously many have вЂњtranslatedвЂќ small words already using their own theories.

He claims that the manuscript was written by Dominican nuns as a reference work for Maria of Castile, queen of Aragon. Chesire writes in his paper that the manuscript is written in a previously unknown вЂњseldom writtenвЂќ proto-Romance language, which sounds like a possible cop-out.Д®ven though the purpose of this site is to bundle articles concerning history while keeping them bite-size, a personal interest makes us take a closer look into the statements of Gerard Chesire. A great feat since dozens of scientists, amateurs, decoders, etc.

This time it was Gerard Chesire of the University of Bristol who only needed two weeks to crack the code. The mysterious Voynich Manuscript of which we have reported earlier (see вЂњRead more hereвЂќ) has allegedly been decoded yet again.
