The Voynich Manuscript -- Serious Progress Decoding it

(1/2) > >>

mouser:
Just finished watching the 47 minute video presentation.  Wonderful, dry, humble, relentless, dedication to science.  What a pleasure it is to watch something like this (as compared to those things like Ted talks which make me want to set off a suicide bomb in the audience).  Fascinating!  I can't wait until they can decode it all.

The 600-year-old, strangely-illustrated Voynich Manuscript (which resides at Yale University) has been called the most mysterious manuscript in the world. Not a single word of the secret language has been decoded, at least not until now. Stephen Bax of the University of Bedfordshire says he has decoded ten words from the Voynich Manuscript.

Has anybody successfully downloaded the Bax PDF here? I can only get to about 91% before the download hangs no matter how I try to pull it over.
