Maldon-based David N Guy recently posted some pictures to the n3ta.com “Misfits” forum, to show everybody there what the Voynich Manuscript really says. Somewhat surprisingly:-
And I said to mother that she need not
cry but she could not stop her
tears because of what she had seen.
“Bryan of The Crossing Sea! His face will
haunt me until I die” she cried. And
then she died. I laid her body between
the lilies and watched her sink beneath
the waters of the lake. I vowed revenge
You know, apart from being written in biro in modern English above some Voynich-y plants (oh, and aside from being crap), this really does have quite a lot to commend it as a Voynich theory. It even has the obligatory made-up-word-that-springs-naturally-from-the-decryption (“ubb”, but perhaps best not to speculate too much on what that means) you see so frequently in Voynich theories.
Hmmm… too bad I haven’t got a spare lifetime to read through DNG’s other 56,295 posts to the n3ta.com forum, I’m sure there would be some other gems in there. Oh well! 🙂
Update: David has also posted a copy of this to his goaste.cx website. And why not?
Hi Nick! Fortunately you spared your readers the rest of his poems from de-crypt.
His comments are interesting too…
“I have no idea what it could mean though.”
Me neither.
“I think this could be quite an important discovery, really.”
Somehow I doubt it.
“I wonder if this is the first recorded useage of the word “ubb”.”
Quite possibly!
Let’s see…
1) He has Oedipal problems. (With apologies to Marci.)
2) He’s channeling the Zodiac killer.
3) He likes to doodle on whatever he’s reading.
4) All of the above.
The answer is 4), I think.
Do you have any idea of what his decipherment method, if any, might be?

Hi Dennis,
Methodology? Channeling and alcohol, though in what proportion I can’t tell. 🙂
Cheers, ….Nick Pelling….
Speaking about breakthroughs…

I’ve already covered the eminent Adolfo Stromboli on this blog: hmmm… who do you think he was modelled upon? 🙂
