Library of the Journal of Voynich Studies



The Journal of Voynich Studies, ISSN 1937-9277, is the record of research communications exchanged between Journal contributors, concerning the manuscript Yale Beinecke MS 408, and associated polymathic matters of interest. [1]

It is planned and anticipated that J.VS will eventually appear in printed version, most likely first as special annual volume editions.

The J.VS archive is public, but the copyright for an individual communication / post / contribution to the Journal, is owned by the person who originated it. Feel free to browse, and quote material, properly attributed.



The contributors to J.VS are advanced students of the Voynich Manuscript [2]. The minimum qualification for becoming a contributor to J.VS is to have thoroughly studied the classic text in the field:

Aegean Park Press, c. 1976-80, ISBN 0-89412-038-7
