Voynich EVA Corpus Statistics

Deterministic, reproducible descriptive statistics for the text of the Voynich Manuscript in the EVA transcription (Takahashi, via the IVTFF LSI 2a interlinear file). Glyph-level and word-level frequency tables plus entropy estimates — including the Miller–Madow bias-corrected estimator.

This is a measurement artifact, not a decipherment claim. Every number is recomputable from the public transcription with the method described below.

Files

  • glyph_unigrams.jsonl — every EVA glyph with count and probability (23-symbol alphabet incl. word-space).
  • glyph_bigrams.jsonl — the 200 most frequent glyph bigrams with count and probability.
  • entropy_and_summary.json — corpus-level summary (below).

Headline numbers

Quantity Value
Glyph tokens 190,954
Glyph alphabet 23
Unigram entropy H₁ 3.875 bits
Unigram entropy (Miller–Madow) 3.875 bits
Bigram entropy H₂ 6.010 bits
Conditional entropy H(X₂|X₁) 2.135 bits
Max entropy log₂(23) 4.524 bits
Redundancy 0.143
Word tokens / types 30,946 / 7,156
Type–token ratio 0.231
Hapax legomena 5,057 (70.7% of types)

The low second-order conditional entropy (~2.1 bits) is the well-documented Voynichese anomaly: successive glyphs are far more predictable than in natural language, one of the reasons the text resists standard cryptanalysis.

Method

Shannon entropy H = −Σ pᵢ log₂ pᵢ over the flattened Takahashi glyph stream. Miller–Madow correction adds (K−1) / (2N ln 2) bits, with K observed symbols and N tokens. Conditional entropy is H(X₂|X₁) = H₂ − H₁. Word statistics are over whitespace-delimited EVA word tokens.
