==== Extraneous writing ==== Only a few of the words in the manuscript are thought to have not been written in the unknown script:<ref name=D-Imperio-1978>{{cite book |last=D'Imperio |first=M.E. |author-link=Mary D'Imperio |year=1978 |title=The Voynich Manuscript: An elegant enigma |publisher=U.S. [[National Security Agency]] |url=https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a070618.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200927074208/https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a070618.pdf |url-status=live |archive-date=27 September 2020 |access-date=1 February 2021}}; Laguna Hills, CA: Aegean Park Press, 1978, {{isbn|978-0-89412-038-1}}; Saffron Walden, UK: Books Express Publishing, 2011, {{ISBN|978-1-78039-009-3}}</ref> * ''f1r'': A sequence of Latin letters in the right margin parallel with characters from the unknown script, also the now-unreadable signature of "[[Jacobus Sinapius|Jacobj à Tepenecz]]" is found in the bottom margin.<ref>{{cite web |last=Zandbergen |first=René |title=Books once owned by Jacobus Horčický / Sinapius / de Tepenec |url=http://www.voynich.nu/extra/sinapius_books.html |website=Voynich.nu |access-date=9 September 2024}}</ref> * ''f17r'': A line of writing in the Latin script in the top margin. * ''f66r'': A small number of words in the bottom left corner near a drawing of a nude man have been read as {{lang|de|der Mussteil}}, a [[High German]]<ref name=D-Imperio-1978 /> phrase for 'a widow's share'. * ''f70v–f73v'': The astrological series of diagrams in the astronomical section has the names of ten of the months (from March to December) written in Latin script, with spelling suggestive of the medieval languages of France, northwest Italy, or the [[Iberian Peninsula]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://inamidst.com/voynich/months |last=Palmer |first=Sean B. |year=2004 |title=Voynich Manuscript: Months |website=Inamidst.com |access-date=8 June 2016 |archive-date=27 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170727124227/http://inamidst.com/voynich/months |url-status=live}}</ref> * ''f116v'': Four lines written in rather distorted Latin script, referred to as "Michitonese", except for two words in the unknown script. The words in Latin script appear to be distorted with characteristics of the unknown language. The lettering resembles European alphabets of the late 14th and 15th centuries, but the words do not seem to make sense in any language.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://inamidst.com/voynich/michitonese |last=Palmer |first=Sean B. |title=Notes on f116v's Michitonese |website=Inamidst.com |year=2004 |access-date=8 June 2016 |archive-date=16 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171216111218/http://inamidst.com/voynich/michitonese |url-status=live}}</ref> Whether these bits of Latin script were part of the original text or were added later is not known. <gallery> Voynich Manuscript (3).jpg|f1r Voynich Manuscript (33).jpg|f17r Voynich Manuscript (206).jpg|f116v ("Michitonese") </gallery>
