Reconstructed from the individual folio scans, this is a complete set of stitched images of the bifolios (and multipanel foldout sheets) comprising the Voynich Manuscript. Each file reconstructs a single physical sheet of vellum that is bound into the codex as a bifolio (or a larger multipanel foldout), joining the individual folio scans that make up its front surface and back surface into two composite images.

Naming Convention

The image names and their filename stem indicate the codex's own quire-and-bifolio locations, as follows:

q[quire number]_b[bifolio-foldout number][side of sheet]

Name Examples:      q1_b1r, q1_b1v, q16_b5r

The "bifolio-foldout number" is the position of the sheet as it is nested into the quire, starting with the outermost nested sheet, The "side of sheet" is either recto (front side) or verso (back side) as would be seen if the stack of nested sheets were laid down with the innermost nested sheet on the top of the stack.

WIth this naming convention, the front side of the outermost nested sheet from Quire 5 is referred to as "q5_b1r". That particular bifolio sheet would include the first two and the last two folios that one encounters as one flips through the bound codex.

The position number of the bifolio has denoted such that the first folio of the manuscript (f1r) is found on the first bifolio of Quire 1 and the last folio of the manuscript (f116v) is found on the first bifolio of Quire 20.

Image Examples

Here is an example of one pair of the recontstructed images. These are for the first bifolio (outermost nested sheet) of Quire 19.
