The Voynich manu script is basically a book written in an unknown, mysterious language. Nobody knows who wrote it, but the writings have been carbon-dated to the early 15th century and may have originated in Northern. However, no one knows exactly what it’s for and what it’s all about.
Named after Wilfrid Voynich, a polish book dealer who stumbled across it in 1912, the book has 240 pages remaining. It’s written from left to right and filled with all sorts of illustrations or diagrams, with most not making any sense to the average eye.
The Voynich manuscript has been studied by both professional and amateur cryptographers, but no one else has come close to breaking the code. Because of this, the manuscript and its text have become the subject of popular imagination, including novels and speculation.
Whether or not the manuscript indeed makes sense, or it’s just some elaborate gibberish one man came up with, we may probably never know.
