It is particularly difficult to keep an up to date list of the most important web resources about the Voynich MS. Feel free to contact me about missing or broken links and I will try to keep this up to date.
The largest and most active blog is >>Nick Pelling's Cipher Mysteries, which covers every possible aspect of the Voynich MS, and some other mysterious ciphers. When you are looking for the latest news about the Voynich MS, this is where you are most likely to find it.
There are several important blogs in Germany, >>by Elmar Vogt in English, and >>by Elias Schwerdtfeger and >>by Michael Johne in German.
Further blogs:
The >>Voynich MS entry in the general English Wikipedia is being steadily improved.
The equivalent >>Voynich MS entry in the general German Wikipedia appears to be more up to date.
There is a very good >>German language Voynich MS wiki
There is a >>Wiki book dedicated to the Voynich MS which currently still requires a lot of work.
There are innumerable web sites that copy or reformulate information about the Voynich MS available elsewhere. I don't consider it either possible or interesting to attempt to list them all here. The web sites below all have some original content.
The Voynich mailing list, which was previously (but no longer) at rand.org and for a short time at cryptogram.org is now a majordomo list. It has a home page, which is >> http://www.voynich.net. Visit this site to find general information about the Voynich MS, and specific information about the mailing list. It also hosts the mail archive, including all E-mails exchanged from 1991 to 2002.
Jim Gillogly's original FTP site is probably the earliest site dedicated to the Voynich MS, with (a.o.) tables of data, scripts and Jacques Guy's critique of Levitov. This link has disappeared long ago, but Jorge Stolfi has provided a >> mirror site.
>> Jim Reeds' site (mirror by Jorge Stolfi) has the most complete bibliography, and all essential general information about the MS.
Gabriel Landini's site, describing the latest transcription effort, the EVA transcription alphabet (including a TrueType Font) and general information and many additional links is unfortunately unavailable until further notice.
>> Jorge Stolfi's site presents his on-going analysis results. He also makes available all scripts used in these. Furthermore he has the most complete list of links to on-line Voynich MS material.
>> Rafal T. Prinke's Voynich MS pages with emphasis on the history of the MS during the reign of Rudolf II of Bohemia and a rebuttal of the suggestion that Dee had anything to do with the MS. Also includes biographical information about Wilfrid and Ethel Voynich.
The important resource set up and maintained by Glen Claston: http://www.voynichcentral.com/ is unfortunately no longer available. The part that has been restored at other sites is:
Edith Sherwood presents several of her theories in nicely arranges web pages, for example her >>theory that the Voynich MS was written by a young Leonardo da Vinci, her >>tentative identification of the Voynich MS plants, her >>comparison of Voynich MS astronomical illustrations with tarot and other illustations, and her own >>tentative solution to the Voynich MS.
A >>wiki-style web site by a mailing list member know under the nickname Knoxmix, with his anaylses of the Voynich MS text.
Xavier Ceccaldi used to have detailed background information about the Collegium Romanum and the Villa Mondragone. The original site is closed, but I am hosting a complete and unmodified copy of it here, with his permission.
>> Dennis Stallings' site holds a collection of historical precedents of the manuscript and a description of some of his analyses.
Berj Ensanian maintains the >>Journal of Voynich Studies in which he and a handful of other participants analyse a vast number of details directly or indirectly related to the Voynich MS.
>> Takeshi Takahashi's site is perhaps the largest web resource about the Voynich MS, but you need a web browser supporting the Japanese language and knowledge of Japanese in order to read it. This site also has available his complete >> transcription of the VMS (for which no Japanese font is required).
Gordon Rugg explains his theory that the Voynich MS was made by Edward Kelly using Cardan grilles, as published in Cryptologia, January 2004 (new link needed).
From P.Han: a A >> very elaborate analysis of the astronomical pages in the Voynich MS, linking them to celestial events and patterns.
A very decorative >> site presenting a tentative solution to the Voynich MS, in French and English.
A >> proposed solution by Richard Rogers.
George Hoschel's proposed solution, >> IMAGE: part a, >> IMAGE: part b, >> IMAGE: part c, >> IMAGE: part d, >> IMAGE: part e.
