This page details some of the features of the Interlinear Archive format, with page <f9v> used as an example.
Note that <f9v> refers to the "verso" (or rear side) of Folio 9, which is in the Herbal section of the manuscript and uses Currier Language A.
The lines prefaced with "#" act as comments. Some attributes determined by various researchers are listed in the "Attributes" comment block:
# Attributes: # # Language: A (Currier) # Hand: 1 (Currier) # Subsets: H (Rene), hea (Stolfi) # Subject: herbal # Plant: 17 (Petersen; misnumbered 15 on his page 1) # Colors: blue,green (Reeds) # Plant: 17 (Petersen)
Other lines either contain a page tag with some metadata flags:
<f9v> {$I=H $Q=B $P=B $L=A $H=1}
or a line tag, which is of the format:
<page number.section number.line number;transcription> LINE DATA
An example of a single Voynich Manuscript line with four transcriptions appears as shown:
<f9v.P.1;H> fochor.oporody.opy.shor.daiin.qopchypcho.qofol.shol.cfhol.daiin- <f9v.P.1;C> fochor.oporody.opy.shor.daiin.qopchypcho.qofol.shol.cfhol.daiin- <f9v.P.1;F> fochor.oporody.opy.shor.daiin.qopchypcho.qofol.shol.cfhol.daiin- <f9v.P.1;U> fochor.oporody.opy.shor.daiin.qopchypcho.qofol.shol.cphol.daiin-
The transcriptions available for this line include those of Takahashi (H), Currier (C), Friedman (F), and Stolfi (U), and for this particular line, all the transcriptions agree about the meanings of all the characters shown in the manuscript.
Shown below is the complete page as it appears in the Interlinear Archive:
<f9v> {$I=H $Q=B $P=B $L=A $H=1}

# Attributes:
#
# Language: A (Currier)
# Hand: 1 (Currier)
# Subsets: H (Rene), hea (Stolfi)
# Subject: herbal
# Plant: 17 (Petersen; misnumbered 15 on his page 1)
# Colors: blue,green (Reeds)
# Plant: 17 (Petersen)
#
# Description:
#
# One plant, flush against the right and bottom edges, reaching
# almost to the top.
#
# Root: a bundle of thin wires. Dark overpaint?
# Stem: one straight. Light color.
# Branches: two symmetrical pairs, oblique.
# Leaves: the four lower ones are medium width, lance-shaped,
# with smooth edges; the others have the same outline but
# are deeply cut into five narrow points. Dark color.
# Stalk: short, mostly missing.
# Flowers: five, at the tips of stem and branches.
# Stalk: medium length, thin. Chalyx: flat or everted, with short
# triangular sepals, partly hidden by corolla. Petals: five rounded
# petals, a large one on top, the others like "arms and legs". Core:
# very small. Medium and dark colors.
#
# Two paragraphs (with 3.7 and 7.7 lines) at the top,
# left-justified. The first one is right-justified; the second one
# follows the plant's profile on the right. Both are interrupted in
# several places by the flowers and leaves.
#
# Comments:
#
# Petersen identifies this plant, with high confidence, as "Viola
# trinitalis". I coudn't find such species, but "herba trinitatis" is
# the herbalists' name for Viola tricolor (heartsease,wild pansy) [1,2,3].
#
# Indeed, comparing f9v with a drawing by Carl Lindman [1], we see
# an almost perfect match --- including the roots, and the two types
# of leaves.
#
# Dennis Mardle [10 Oct 1998] observes that the details match also
# Viola arvensis (field pansy), which hybridises with V. tricolor
# and is very similar in shape, including especially the dimorphic
# leaves [1,4].
#
# The colors may help resolve this issue. The flowers of Viola
# tricolor are usually purple and white with yellow core; Lindman's
# drawing shows V. arvensis as white (or light blue?) with yellow
# core. Jim Reeds color list [03 Mar 1998] reports some blue on this
# page, to be confirmed.
#
# In either case, there is one odd detail: the flowers in f9v are
# upside-down. Also the two bottom flowers are somewhat differen.
#
# Viola tricolor was used internally to treat epilepsy, asthma and
# bronchitis (whole plant), as an emetic and purgative (seeds) and as
# a heart tonic (flowers). Externally it was used to treat skin
# diseases [2]. The flowers are reported to be edible.
