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:-

Quire 14
Here is a schematic diagram of Quire 14, with clickable links to its pages. It consists of a single multiple-folded leaf consisting of a complicated 9-rosettes drawing on one side, and 6 individual pages on the other:-

/--   ../F85r1//../F85r2/ !     \+ ../F86v4//../F86v6//../F86v5//../F86v3/
