Sorry if this has already been mentioned, or if it's a bit too far afield:

In the September 2004 issue of Wired there's an article (pp. 112, 114, 116, 121) on Gordon Rugg's de-bunking of the Voynich MS. The Wired article focuses on his methodology, not the MS, but it mentions his article on the MS in the journal _Cryptologia_ published earlier this year. I think medieval studies folks will be interested in the Wired article discussion of his method -- "the verifier approach" -- used for problem solving and examining "expertise gaps" as well as the article on the MS.
