# Evidence of linguistic structure in the Voynich manuscript using spectral analysis

Gabriel Landini, 2001. _Cryptologia_ 25(4): 275–295.

Applies spectral analysis to the Voynich text with spaces removed and finds properties typical of natural language rather than random strings, including a typical token length and signs that the line acts as a unit.

## What it's used for here

The book cites it for the text's fit to Zipf's law, and the bioinformatics survey treats its spectral and Hurst-exponent study as the closest earlier work to detrended fluctuation analysis.
