FYI: the author of this blog was just featured in an article in The Atlantic about the Voynich Manuscript.

Unrelated: So what are the leading theories on Voynich?

Someone was able to translate portions of the Voynich Manuscript but has unfortunately removed his videos. I found a bit more info here:

This gist is that nomadic Romani people settled around Syria and wrote it. The language and writing is a blend of several languages and cultures. The evidence in the videos backs this up pretty well.

Edit, found the videos here: https://www.reddit.com/r/voynich/comments/ev9h5v/comment/joy...

> Multispectral imaging is a way of capturing a digital image using non-visible wavelengths such as ultraviolet and infrared.

No, it is not. It uses multiple spectrums from UV to infrared, but most of the wavelengths therein are visible. I'm working with multispectral images, and the best ones are still the whites.

Everything about this manuscript is so mysterious, the origins, the language, the plants and other drawings; still not mysterious enough that you would that it would be impossible to find a solution to all of this, I can understand the passion some researchers have for this manuscript, is there anything close to the Voynich manuscript?
