The word &#8220;<strong>facsimile<\/strong>&#8221; comes from\u00a0<strong>Latin<\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;fac&#8221; and &#8220;simile&#8221; meaning &#8220;make it alike&#8221; or &#8220;made it alike&#8221;. Unfortunately, more often than not the word is used loosely &#8211; even in library catalogs &#8211; to describe an art book with photographic representations of a manuscript (not a facsimile, at all).<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-hl alignleft\"><span class=\"block-hl-line\"><\/span>A facsimile is noticeably different from an art book, and not just for the quality of the printed images<span class=\"block-hl-line\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p>So, what is a\u00a0facsimile edition? Well, it is a reproduction of a book &#8211; usually a\u00a0<strong>rare manuscript<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; retaining\u00a0the original&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>physicality <\/strong>(intrinsic and extrinsic criteria); this means that the copy\u00a0aims to resemble the original manuscript in every detail, from the majestic illustrations and beautiful binding to the not-so-majestic details such as holes, creased pages, page feel, water stains and so on.<\/p>\n<h2>Why does it Take so Long to Make the Voynich Facsimile Edition?<\/h2>\n<p>Now that we&#8217;ve gotten the\u00a0definition out the way, we can go back to the\u00a0<strong>18-month<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>making-process<\/strong>.\u00a0Time-wise, 18 months is a long time, however the process of facsimile-making is tortuous and composed of several tricky stages: photo session, pre-press session, printing, and binding.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-hl alignright\"><span class=\"block-hl-line\"><\/span>The process of facsimile-making is tortuous and composed of several tricky stages<span class=\"block-hl-line\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p>So, the first time-consuming part of creating an excellent facsimile is being good at\u00a0<strong>color proofing<\/strong>\u00a0which affects most of the remaining\u00a0<strong>production stages<\/strong>.\u00a0Then, the right paper must be chosen to be as close as possible to the parchment of the manuscript, and this is no easy task.\u00a0Once printed, the pages must be trimmed to the size and shape of the original manuscript: the\u00a0<strong>Voynich manuscript<\/strong>\u00a0poses a couple of additional problems due to the\u00a0<strong>fold-outs<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0<strong>irregular folios<\/strong>.\u00a0Finally, binding: a good facsimile replicates the quires and structure of the binding of original manuscript.\u00a0<strong>High quality facsimiles<\/strong>\u00a0are hand-bound in traditional binding workshops.
