Dear Mr. Landini,
a recent article in Sky&Telescope about the Voynich
manuscript waked my curiosity. I make it short:
Has there been any test of the isotopic composition of
the material of the document, its paper, pigments etc.?
Also a microscopic examination can probably give some
insights into the origin of the materials.
That could possibly shed light onto the date and place
of creation.
The modern method of accelerator mass spectroscopy
allows the determination of the isotopic composition
of miniscule amounts of material. When there is any
interest Professor Walter Kutschera of Vienna
University (walter.kutschera@xxxxxxxxxxxx) can
certainly help you further. There is also one
institution for accelerator MS in the States.
