Technical Shorthand and Procedural Standardization in MS 408: A Systems Analysis of 15th-Century Voynich manuscript

By Damian Noah Dimitrov

"For over a century, the Voynich Manuscript has remained a cryptographic impasse due to the prevailing academic assumption that its script represents a natural, spoken language intended for linear reading. This research challenges that paradigm by proposing a Technical Shorthand Model, positing that the manuscript is not a book of prose but a high-density, non-narrative laboratory manual for a 15th-century apothecary. By utilizing high-speed pattern recognition to map specific word tokens to their visual contexts, a consistent internal logic emerges that treats the vellum as a functional technical inventory rather than a linguistic puzzle."

"The science of himself is trewe": Alchemy in John Gower's Confessio Amantis

By Clare Fletcher

"This article explores English poet John Gower and the sciences from the perspective of alchemy. Topics include the role of the alchemical passages of the poem "Confessio Amantis" in uncovering their centrality to two of Gower's concerns including the decline of the world and the decline of language, and the transforming force of labor in reforming both the individual and society."

"The “Processus” is an intriguing text, a paraphrase of the Holy Mass in terms of an alchemical discourse. The identity of its author continues to puzzle, with Olahus remaining one of the possible candidates."

Not specifically alchemical, but an interesting read.

"In this article, we delve into the foundational misunderstandings of “quantum-science” & the inherent delusions involved in terms like “quantum entanglement”, “quantum materials” & “quantum mechanics”"

Online and Delayed Viewing


"In this online workshop, Bernadette Russell invites participants to draw on the world of alchemy to create their own writing. Tracing alchemy's history from Ancient Egypt to Europe, the session explores the Philosopher’s Stone and its symbolism of transformation, healing and renewal. The group considers how alchemical ideas have shaped folklore, myth and modern literature, from Fullmetal Alchemist to A Discovery of Witches, alongside famous alchemists like Mary the Prophetess and Isaac Newton. Along the way, participants explore alchemy as a metaphor for personal growth – the transmutation of difficulty into wisdom – before moving into prompts and free writing exercises to create original work. Suitable for both beginners and experienced writers."

Steven A. Young has a PhD in nuclear physics and makes the case that nuclear weapons do not exist. Alchemy provides superior explanations for all phenomena and technologies, and that nuclear/quantum physics is a fruitless doctrine, contrived by military intelligence, with no real-world applications.
