170,000 Voynich glyphs


Could anyone other than Stella Sopling have managed to create a wild garden of such delicate beauty. The committee of the Seven Dials Open Gardens (SDOG) is gathering suitable candidates for their May extravaganza. Trailing amongst their examining group is Yevgeny Huxtable who is in a curmudgeonly mood. He is worrying about a scrap from an old vellum in his collection that was inscribed with writing similar to that of the Voynich Manuscript (a constant source of curiosity for him since first being allowed to examine it in 1989). He suspects that it may even be one of the missing pages of the old codex. But he filed it away last December and hasn’t been able to find it since.
