Deciphering the Linguistic, Botanical, and Celestial Structure of the Voynich Manuscript: A Lexical and Contextual Approach By Jessica Scott Dunn

The methodology focuses on pattern recognition, semantic clustering, and paleographic analysis. Key findings indicate a structured lexicon with consistent morphological patterns, supporting the hypothesis that the manuscript encodes a practical, medical-humoral text. The manuscript's authorship is explored, with evidence pointing to Clemens Specker, a scribe from a Swiss-German monastery, who may have traveled extensively through Southeast Asia, Africa, and Persia/Iran. Notably, the manuscript includes a botanical reference confirming an exact date of 1423 due to the cyclical blooming of a specific bamboo species. Additionally, celestial elements such as fixed healing stars, the Pleiades, and caelestial timing for medical treatments reveal an advanced astro-botanical approach(The Translation, 2024). ...
