Description

  The text is laid out in 3 columns. For each line:

    The left-most column contains either a single Voynich ``word'' or is blank.
    The middle column contains a single single ``character'' or a ligature.
    The right column contains a line of what appears to be normal Voynich text.

  The text on the right is laid out in paragraphs i.e. most lines are about the
  same length, occasionally there is a shorter line (with blank space to the
  right) followed by some vertical blank space before the next paragraph
  starts.

  In the top right hand corner there is a number "66" in ordinary numerals.

  In the bottom left hand corner, there is a picture of a woman
  lying down on her back (dead?). To the left of the woman are two
  circles and a cylinder. Above her are four words in Voynich text.
  To the far left are four words in a different hand and a different
  alphabet. To me they look like:

      v
  Den  mv<illegible>
     der

  Rene [04 Apr 1999] says that they all seem to be in the same ink;
  and that the second word coudl be "mrsz" or "mvsz".

  In the bottom right hand corner there is a symbol that looks like a number 2
  on its side.

  Here is a schematic layout of the text. Let

  A strip of paper, about 1cm at its widest, was torn off 
  along the bottom edge of the page, from near the center until the 
  SE corner.
