Alexander Amelkin (2024): "Provenance and history of the Voynich Manuscript (hypothesis)" (in English)

The Voynich manuscript was created by Dr. Johannes Hartlieb (1400 - 1468) in 1448/49. He was in the employment of Albrecht III of Bavaria-Munich from 1440, and of Albrecht's son Sigmund from 1456.
The husband of Anna von Braunschweig-Grubenhagen, Duke Albrecht III of Bavaria-Munich, married Anna out of necessity and continued to love Agnes Bernauer, who was executed in 1435. Anna was tormented by jealousy, especially strong after 1447. Then Albrecht asked his personal physician (Leibarzt) Johannes Hartlieb to direct Anna's attention to practices in the field of white magic, in which Anna was seriously interested.
At the request of Albrecht III Dr. Hartlieb on the basis of his drafts ordered to the scribes the "Chiromancy" and the "Voynich Manuscript" (the "Hartlieb Manuscript"), which were urgently created in the period from 1448 to 1449. Both books depicted a distorted reality, making them ideal divination tools.
"Chiromancy" was created by Dr. Hartlieb in 1448. However, Anna quickly became bored with hand fortune telling (palm reading). Anna needed something more mysterious.
Then started Dr. Hartlieb, in agreement with Albrecht, with the creation of the "Voynich Manuscript", which was based on various secret writing systems and old manuscripts from the early 15th century. There was a lack of time. Johannes Hartlieb had a team of trustworthy scribes and illustrators in the greater Munich area and in Augsburg. Based on secret writing systems such as "Kaldaisch", which Dr. Hartlieb perfectly mastered, since he was also a court diplomat, he created a special font "Voynichese" and a "Vocabulary", as well as drafts of various sections of the future "Voynich Manuscript".
90% of the "Voynich Manuscript" was just science fiction nonsense. The text didn't make any sense. Incidentally, Hartlieb has a manuscript on astrology (Johannes Hartlieb et al. (1448/56)), in which he gives various examples of secret writings, including "Kaldaisch". Only less than 10% of the astrological text of the "Voynich Manuscript" could be deciphered.
The scribes, who numbered not less than twelve, were given sketches of the various sections of the manuscript, as well as a large quantity of old parchment of various sizes. They were in a hurry and didn't keep the lines straight. They were also allowed to create their own text based on Hartlieb's rules. The fact that the text of the manuscript was created by several people at the same time is indicated by the presence of at least five parts of the manuscript with differences in handwriting, vocabulary and placement on the page. (Lisa Fagin Davis (2022, 2023))
Each scribe had to create at least 12 zodiac diagrams in a relatively free form, in addition to their own text, in collaboration with the illustrator. Some scribes were artists themselves. The zodiac diagrams in the Voynich manuscript were male and female. In total, there were 12 or more zodiac charts for each zodiac sign. Since some of the parchment was not cut into equal parts, some long sheets contained three zodiac diagrams or even more. Many zodiac diagrams differed from each other in drawings and inscriptions. Later this was interpreted as taking into account the characteristics of the customer category (guests of "Anna's Salon").
Dr. Hartlieb gave Anna the "Voynich Manuscript" in 1449. He presented the manuscript as the work of an early 15th-century magician, possibly Abraham von Worms. Anna was very happy and with the help of Dr. Hartlieb to conduct astrological sessions at parties in "Anna's Salon". The manuscript had not previously been stapled together and consisted of individual sheets. Anna conducted astrological sessions using these zodiac charts, so they were always in use and often kept in different places. Most of them were later lost or given away.
Dr. Hartlieb helped Anna to "decipher" the manuscript and made notes ("Michitonese") on the pages. It is also possible that the "Michitonese" inscriptions were the improvisation of one of the hired scribes.
During the sessions, Anna prophesied using zodiac charts. Anna predicted events in the life (fate) of the client (session guest) for a week, a month and a year and recommended various herbal mixtures and water treatments to solve possible problems. Dr. Hartlieb often attended meetings and wrote out recipes.
After Albrecht's death, Anna continued to conduct magical sessions at Nannhofen Castle.
The "Voynich Manuscript" possibly shows either Nannhofen Castle or Blutenburg Castle. Nannhofen moated castle was built a little earlier (from 1423) than Blutenburg moated castle (from 1424), and Albrecht von Wittelsbach and Augsburg bather's daughter Agnes Bernauer sometimes met there secretly.
Externally both castles were very similar and had a similar history. Since Blutenburg Castle was built about five years earlier than originally assumed, some events (for example the birth of Agnes Bernauer (1405 instead of 1410) and her daughter Sibylla (1424 instead of 1430), the meeting of Agnes and Albrecht (1423 instead of 1428) could have occurred, and the construction of Blutenburg Castle ("Blytenburg", "Pluedenberg", from 1424 instead of from 1429)) also took place about five years earlier. (Jutta Czeguhn (2017))
The author of the "Voynich Manuscript", Doctor Hartlieb, often visited both castles. With the creation of the Voynich manuscript, Duchess Anna von Braunschweig-Grubenhagen developed a passion for fortune telling using astrological zodiac cards. She did this in both castles until her death in 1474. In the 16th century, Nannhofen Castle and its library came into the possession of the Court Chancellor of the House of Wittelsbach. Later, the Court Chancellor handed over the "Voynich Manuscript" to Emperor Rudolf II.
Generalization:
The Voynich Manuscript
1. Центры событий - Аугсбург, Мюнхен, Прага - ближайшее окружение герцога Альбрехта III и императора Сигизмунда I Люксембурга.
2. Группа главных героев: Каспар Бернауэр, Йоханнес Хартлиб, Якоб Пютерих фон Райхертсхаузен, Абрахам фон Вормс и ещё от трёх до семи специалистов в области бальнеологии, фитотерапии, фармакологии, гинекологии, астрологии, тайнописи, космологии и белой магии.
3. Якоб Пютерих фон Райхертсхаузен (1400-1469) был одним из самых доверенных советников герцога Альбрехта III, которому он также служил как опытный дипломат, и, скорее всего, именно он написал Рукопись Войнича вместе с доктором Хартлибом и компанией.
4. Группа разработала имитацию шрифта и создала Манускрипт Войнича для сеансов белой магии с целью привлечения клиентов в аптеки, сауны, клиники и т.п.
5. Есть три кандидата на прототип замка из Рукописи Войнича: Замок Блютенбург, Замок Наннхофен и Замок Пазинг.
6. Возможно манускриптов было несколько.
7. Один из экземпляров был подарен Анне Брауншвейгской и потом попал к императору Рудольфу Второму. А может император Рудольф Второй владел другим экземпляром рукописи из библиотеки его предшественника императора Сигизмунда I Люксембурга?

1. The Voynich Manuscript was written by at least six people. These were either the authors themselves, or scribes from the monastery artel, carrying out the orders of the authors based on their sketches. The manuscript was written for a specific commercial purpose, as parchment was very expensive at the time and was purchased for the project as a worthwhile investment. I believe that this is an ingenious imitation of a fortune-telling book, used for predictions and diagnoses in order to attract wealthy clients to pharmacies and medical institutions. The manuscript was used in white magic sessions in high society.
2. Centers of events - Augsburg, Munich, Prague - the inner circle of Duke Albrecht III of Bavaria-Munich and Emperor Sigismund I of Luxembourg.
3. Group of putative collective authors: Kaspar Bernauer, Johannes Hartlieb, Jacob Pueterich von Reichertshausen, Abraham von Worms and from three to seven more specialists in the field of balneology, herbal medicine, pharmacology, gynecology, astrology, cryptography, cosmology and white magic.
4. Jakob Pueterich von Reichertshausen (1400-1469) was one of the most trusted advisors of Duke Albrecht III, whom he also served as an accomplished diplomat, and it was most likely he who wrote the Voynich Manuscript along with Dr. Hartlieb and company.
5. The group developed an imitation font and created the Voynich Manuscript for white magic sessions in order to attract clients to pharmacies, medicinal baths, clinics, etc.
6. There are three candidates for the prototype castle from the Voynich Manuscript: Blutenburg Castle, Nannhofen Castle and Pasing Castle (Wasserschloss Blutenburg, Wasserschloss Nannhofen und Wasserschloss Pasing). It was in these castles that white magic sessions using the Voynich Manuscript were held.
7. There could be several copies of the Voynich Manuscript, and they differed from each other. Perhaps several fragments from different versions of the manuscript survived, and then they were put together.
8. One of the copies was presented to Anna of Brunswick (Anna von Braunschweig-Grubenhagen) and then went to Emperor Rudolph II. Or maybe Emperor Rudolf II owned another copy of the manuscript from the library of his predecessors - Emperor Sigismund I of Luxembourg and intermediate successors. The third version is that Karl Widemann bought several fragments of the manuscript from the descendants of its creators and then sold or donated them to Emperor Rudolf II.
Рукопись Войнича - задача почти решена
Этот Манускрипт (Войнича) - полный абсурд, написанный как минимум 6 людьми на дорогом пергаменте. Единственная цель его - произвести впечатление на несведущих людей с коммерческой целью - смотивировать их купить что-то в аптеке или обратиться в клинику. Доказано, что рукопись написана в южной Баварии в районе Мюнхена. Я определил круг придворных врачей, магов, астрологов и дипломатов, которые могли на непонятном искусственном языке создать такой Манускрипт. Этих людей всего 6 человек. Теперь надо в их окружении найти следы манускрипта: в упоминаниях, рецептах, рисунках, черновиках, дневниках, письмах... Это будет доказательством, и пазл сойдется.
This Voynich Manuscript is a complete absurdity, written by at least 6 people on expensive parchment. Its only purpose is to impress ignorant people for a commercial purpose - to motivate them to buy something at a pharmacy or go to a clinic. It has been proven that the manuscript was written in southern Bavaria (Oberbayern) in the Munich region. I identified a circle of court doctors, magicians, astrologers and diplomats who could create such a Manuscript in an incomprehensible artificial language. There are only 6 of these people. Now we need to find traces of the manuscript in their surroundings: in references, recipes, drawings, drafts, diaries, letters... This will be the evidence, and the puzzle will be solved.
Рукопись Войнича написана как минимум шестью людьми. Это были либо сами авторы, либо писари из монастырской артели, выполняющие заказ авторов на основе их эскизов. Рукопись была написана с определенной целью, так как пергамент был очень дорогим и был куплен для реализации проекта. Я считаю, что это - гениальная имитация гадальной книги, использовавшаяся для предсказаний и постановки диагнозов с целью привлечения богатых клиентов в аптеки и лечебные учреждения. Рукопись использовалась на сеансах белой магии в высшем обществе.

Лилит, Инанна, оанны, анунаки (аннунаки, ануннаки), озеро Ван и ведьмина мазь "unguentum pharelis"
Лилит и Инанна были оаннами (аннунаками). Через них жрецы препротобасков и протошумеров получили рецепт ведьминой мази "unguentum pharelis" и прочие знания.
В состав мази входили семь трав, жир и кровь водоплавающей птицы и вода из озера Ван, имеющая уникальный минеральный состав. В зависимости от пропорций и способа изготовления и применения эта мазь либо вызывала левитацию, либо необратимые превращения. Микродозы мази оказывали лечебное действие.
Мазь наносилась на определенные места тела человека или принималась внутрь. В терапевтических целях мазь добавлялась в воду лечебных ванн.
При превращении происходило быстрое генетическое изменение человека, при котором часть мозга, органов и скелета превращалась в водоплавающую птицу или оанна. Птица выбиралась изо рта человека и затем увеличивалась в размерах. Человек перемещался в птицу, а оставшаяся его часть погибала.
Позже рецепт мази "unguentum pharelis" попал к Абрахаму Вормскому и доктору Йоханнесу Хартлибу. Последний описал этот рецепт в своих книгах, включая Манускрипт Войнича.
Вода из некоторых озёр Верхней Баварии также обладала нужными свойствами для изготовления ведьминой мази. Мазь была использована при спасении Агнес Бернауэр в 1435 году, а также при манёврах во время гуситской войны в 1420 году и битвы при Аллинге в 1422 году.
У озера Ван находился библейский Парадиз, впервые описанный шумерами. Лилит и Инанна изображались с ластами (птичьими лапами) вместо ног и с крыльями. Шумеры, субареи и хурриты часто представляли Лилит и Инанну погружёнными в воду в окружении рыб. Также иногда их представляли в форме русалок. В Рукописи Войнича также присутствует изображение русалки.
Lilith, Inanna, Oans, Anunaki (Anunnaki, Annunaki), Lake Van and the witch's ointment "unguentum pharelis"
Lilith and Inanna were the Oans (Anunnaki). Through them, the priests of the Pre-Proto-Bascans and Proto-Sumerians received the recipe for the witch's ointment "unguentum pharelis" and other knowledge.
The ointment included seven herbs, fat and blood of waterfowl and water from Lake Van, which has a unique mineral composition. Depending on the proportions and method of production and use, this ointment either caused levitation or irreversible transformations. Microdoses of the ointment had a therapeutic effect.
The ointment was applied to certain places on the human body or taken orally. For therapeutic purposes, the ointment was added to the water of medicinal baths.
Metamorphosis involved a rapid genetic change in a person in which parts of the brain, organs, and skeleton were transformed into a waterfowl or Oan (Oannes). The bird climbed out of the man's mouth and then increased in size. The man moved into the bird, and the rest of him died.
Later, the recipe for "unguentum pharelis" ointment came to Abraham of Worms and Dr. Johannes Hartlieb. The latter described this recipe in his books, including the Voynich Manuscript.
Water from some lakes in Upper Bavaria also had the necessary properties for making witch's ointment. The ointment was used in the rescue of Agnes Bernauer in 1435, as well as during maneuvers during the Hussite War (Hussitenkrieg) in 1420 and the Battle of Alling (Schlacht bei Alling) in 1422.
Near Lake Van was the biblical Paradise, first described by the Sumerians. Lilith and Inanna were depicted with flippers (bird feet) instead of legs and with wings. The Sumerians, Subareans and Hurrians often imagined Lilith and Inanna submerged in water, surrounded by fish. They were also sometimes represented in the form of mermaids. The Voynich Manuscript also contains an image of a mermaid.
