Beyond Currier A and B: ED-Defined Folio Regimes and Lexical Continuity in the Voynich Manuscript

This record accompanies the preprint “Beyond Currier A and B: ED-Defined Folio Regimes and Lexical Continuity in the Voynich Manuscript.” The study defines two operational transcription-based classes, ED0 and ED+, using the distribution of the EVA bigram ed at the level of the folio side. The purpose of the classification is descriptive and reproducible: to provide an explicit folio-level framework that can be compared against Currier A/B, scribal assignment, codicological structure, and lexical-continuity measures. This deposit is intended to support reproducibility. It includes the classification materials used in the study and related analysis outputs. In the main text of the paper, counts are generally reported at the level of the folio side. Where foldout material is subdivided in the transcription source, supplementary classification lists may retain panel-level transcription units. These should not be treated as the same denominator. The study does not claim to solve the Voynich Manuscript, establish authorship, determine chronology, or provide a decipherment. Its aim is narrower: to formalize a manuscript-wide lexical distinction in a way that can be independently checked and used in later analysis.

Abstract

This record accompanies the preprint “Beyond Currier A and B: ED-Defined Folio Regimes and Lexical Continuity in the Voynich Manuscript.” The study defines two operational transcription-based classes, ED0 and ED+, using the distribution of the EVA bigram ed at the level of the folio side. The purpose of the classification is descriptive and reproducible: to provide an explicit folio-level framework that can be compared against Currier A/B, scribal assignment, codicological structure, and lexical-continuity measures. This deposit is intended to support reproducibility. It includes the classification materials used in the study and related analysis outputs. In the main text of the paper, counts are generally reported at the level of the folio side. Where foldout material is subdivided in the transcription source, supplementary classification lists may retain panel-level transcription units. These should not be treated as the same denominator. The study does not claim to solve the Voynich Manuscript, establish authorship, determine chronology, or provide a decipherment. Its aim is narrower: to formalize a manuscript-wide lexical distinction in a way that can be independently checked and used in later analysis.
