Or really far out, how to recreate individual plants after flood or other world devastation. It could have been a copy of what was actually taken on the ark (the metaphor of the ark). This could also be the Noah’s ark of herbs/plants. The manuscript possibly having multiple layers of meaning to teach, guide, heal, impart knowledge, hope, a sense of community without being burned at the stake. This Knowledge of women, known as witchcraft in Europe, needed to be imparted to all without worry of prosecution so under the guise of herbology, a secrete language developed, both writing and symbols/drawings, speaks of the cosmos, higher realms of consciousness, ground of being, how to connect with each other when there may have been great isolation of each individual, etc. This is the “bible” of the feminine (vs the masculine Bible, accepted doctor/medical wisdom of the time, etc). Re Voynich manuscripts: My ideas on first quick scan. I wonder if anyone has tried to C-14 test the pigments in the writing instead, or has looked for previous writing incompletely erased by the faker? The Voynich parchment has been C-14 tested as being medieval in date. Doing this used to be common practice, as parchment was valuable, so some faint presence of previous writing on parchment would not be suspicious. Ancient wisdom, got to be good stuff, yes? To do this, a faker starts out with actual old parchment, removes the previous writing from it, and uses it for his own new scribblings. To make a con like this work, the manuscript has to look old. Actually, if we assume that one-time pads were known of (or even just deliberate fakes manufactured to mislead) this may have happened quite a bit, so there may be quite a few promising but unreadable fakes knocking about. After a fair amount of decoding attempts, the manuscript is put to one side and forgotten about as being not amenable to decryption. Faker then manufactures the rest of the document complete with more decode-able words in a sea of gibberish, and flogs the rest of the fake to the Royals. Royal flunky looks at the first fragment, finds “likely” words, and fronts up a bribe. Can you? If so, would you like to buy the rest (though you’ll need to front me some money so I can get it first)? The likely scenario is thus that the faker manufactures part of the document (complete with easily-broken interesting names) then shows this to a royal cryptographer, with the tag-line of “I’ve just bought this, but I cannot decode it. Seeding the ciphertext with words which sound rather like known plant names in a little-known language would be a very good ploy to convince very good decryption experts that they were indeed on to something, and that the manuscript contained hidden knowledge that with work could and indeed would be decrypted. I still think that the Voynich manuscript is an ancient fake.
