The Voynich Manuscript/Page-by-page commentary

Quire 1 Structurally, the Voynich Manuscript is divided into quires - each quire comprises a set of about four bifolios folded down the middle, stitched along the gutter. Here, then, is a schematic diagram of Quire 1, with clickable links to each of its 16 pages:- /-------------- ../F1r//../F1v/ A1 ! /------------ ../F2r//../F2v/ A1 ! ! /---------- ../F3r//../F3v/ A1 ! ! ! /-------- ../F4r//../F4v/ A1 A A A A ! ! ! \-------- ../F5r//../F5v/ A1 ! ! \---------- ../F6r//../F6v/ A1 ! \------------ ../F7r//../F7v/ A1 \-------------- ../F8r//../F8v/ A1 Quire 2 Here is a schematic diagram of Quire 2, with clickable links to each of its 16 (original) pages:- /-------------- ../F9r/ /../F9v/ A1 ! /------------ ../F10r//../F10v/ A1 ! ! /---------- ../F11r//../F11v/ A1 ! ! ! /--.... ../F12r//../F12v/ (missing!)
