René Zandbergen has a PhD in space flight dynamics and works at the European Space Agency’s site in Darmstadt, Germany, in the area of high-precision orbit determination of Earth Observation and Global Navigation satellites. The mystery of the Voynich manuscript has become one of his main spare time activities from 1995 onwards. Realising that there was a need for a central repository of facts and theories related to this manuscript, primarily to guide newcomers, he set up a web site that gradually evolved into one of the better known web resources about the manuscript (www.voynich.nu). In collaboration with Gabriel Landini he developed the most commonly used transliteration alphabet for representing the Voynich manuscript text. After 2000 he concentrated on the study of the history of the MS. In 2012 he was one of the organisers of a workshop celebrating the 100th anniversary of the manuscript, in the Villa Mondragone near Frascati. He contributed as a co-author to the Yale University publication of the photo-facsimile edition of the Voynich manuscript.
