fuckin give this Voynich shit a rest already. And yes Bristol pulled the news story from their site with this explanation. He's just an associate and the faculty have complained that it's unethical and self-promoting

That's a bit cunty of the University. While it's thought to be good research, it's University research. When it turns out to be bobbins, it's his own.

QuoteHaving previously described Cheshire as "a University of Bristol academic", the university is taking pains to distance itself from him. It said: "The research was entirely the author's own work and is not affiliated with the University of Bristol, the school of arts nor the Centre for Medieval Studies".

I suppose he has a hot new take on who wrote all the Dickens too?

"Dicks in".
