‘I would like to draw your attention to a call for presentations for an event that I am co-organizing, the Voynich Zoom 2026. I am excited to see how the event will be received. It is a kind of special edition of the Cipher Zoom series, which has been running successfully for many years, organized by my dear colleague Jessika Nowak from the University of Wuppertal. You can find important details in the call, which I have attached here. While the deadline is in just over two weeks, the expected length of the submissions is modest, making the timeline entirely manageable.
On Wednesday, March 11, 2026, an online conference titled “Voynich Zoom” will take place.
Start time: 18:00 CET / 12:00 Eastern
Expected duration: approximately 4 hours
Typical presentation length: around 20 minutes
The Voynich Zoom is organized by Jessika Nowak (University of Wuppertal), with Elonka Dunin, Jürgen Hermes, Tibor Jager, and Klaus Schmeh serving as co-organizers.
We hereby invite email submissions for presentations.
We welcome all kinds of presentations related to the Voynich Manuscript, including but not limited to:
- Linguistic, cryptological, historical, and art-historical research
