The Voynich Text
As explained in the v4j README, the library provides factory methods to
obtain an IvtffText instance with the Voynich text. At present the library provides means to obtain the
Landini-Stolfi Interlinear file (LSI) and an augmented version of it, containing concordance and majority versions of the text.
The corresponding IVTFF files (which are read by the factory) can be found in the resource folder of the library.
The “augmented” EVA version is created using class
BuildConcordanceVersion;
the input for the class is a slightly modified version of LSI that can be found in the
v4j-apps resource folder.
In this version, minor changes are done, that do not change the text content, in order to make sure
all the different versions of the lines align properly, as required by BuildConcordanceVersion code.
Class
BuildSlotVersion;
is then used to transcribe the “augmented” version from EVA into Slot alphabeth.
The Bible Text
Similarly, class
BuildBibleTranscription
is used to produce .txt version if the Bible from XML files that can be found in the
v4j-apps resource folder.
The corresponding IVTFF files (which are read by the factory) can be found in the resource folder of the library.
