Yaxin Hu Normal meeting with partner Meeting with supervisor Meeting review Begun Matlab code for the phase 1: text investigation • The total number of words. • The frequency of words. • The number of simple letters. • The frequency of simple letters. Week 7 Ruihang Feng Normal meeting with partner Begun Matlab code for the phase 1: text investigation Compared the Voynich manuscript with other known languages. Found patterns in known language digits. Located similar patterns in the Voynich manuscript. Searched any relationship between the patterns and digits.

Yaxin Hu Normal meeting with partner Begun Matlab code for the phase 1: text investigation Compared the Voynich manuscript with other known languages. Found patterns in known language digits. Located similar patterns in the Voynich manuscript. Searched any relationship between the patterns and digits. Week 8 Ruihang Feng Thesis draft 1 Prepared for the next meeting with supervisor Normal meeting with partner Modified the Matlab code for the phase 1

Yaxin Hu Thesis draft 1 Prepared for the next meeting with supervisor Normal meeting with partner Begun the Matlab code for the phase 2: illustration research • Locate all the images that contains one thing that appears more than once in an image. • Number the time that things appears in each image.

Week 9 Ruihang Feng Meeting with supervisor Meeting review Normal meeting with partner Checked the Matlab code of phase 1 Phase 1 Matlab code modification

Yaxin Hu Meeting with supervisor Meeting review Normal meeting with partner Matlab code for the phase 2: illustration research • Trying to search words nearby the image that may conform any digital patterns in known language digits. • Decode all the digits if the last step is success.

Week 10 Ruihang Feng Normal meeting with partner Meeting review Begun the Matlab code for the phase 3: Marginal symbols research • Statistics for marginal stars of each page, such as the number of marginal stars, the types of stars, the location of stars. • Extract the characters which may stand for digits from the Voynich manuscript.

Yaxin Hu Normal meeting with partner Meeting review Checked the Matlab code of phase 2

Week 11 Ruihang Feng Normal meeting with partner Prepared for the meeting with supervisor Matlab code for the phase 3: marginal symbols research • Statistics the characters which are extracted in the last step, such as the occurence frequency of characters. • Make a chart according to the order of the occurence frequency of those characters. Then make a matching between characters and digits. • Infer the potential relationship between characters and digits. Results organization
