The Voynich Manuscript is a document that is notable for it's strange text.
This is one mystery that to date hasn't been decyphered.
Theories range from a secret language or code to an old sort of joke or hoax.
Frankly, we think it is part of an ancient and secret societies communications and codes.
However, since we have not, despite hundreds of hours or effort, been able to decipher it either, we are at a loss as well.
Perhaps you can make history and decipher this unique mystery?
Amazing pictures, interesting text, what the devil is it?
Hoax ... well that is too easy an explanation ... of course it would be nice and easy to write off any code or history we dont understand as a hoax, but that seems just suspiciously easy and trite, eh?
The Voynich manuscript is a mysterious, undeciphered illustrated book.
It is thought to have been written in the 15th or 16th century.[1] The author, script, and language of the manuscript remain unknown.
The book is named after the Polish-American book-dealer Wilfrid M. Voynich, who acquired it in 1912.
As of 2005, the Voynich manuscript is item MS 408 in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Yale University.
The first facsimile edition was published in 2005
Over its recorded existence, the Voynich manuscript has been the object of intense study by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including some top American and British codebreakers of World War II fame (all of whom failed to decrypt a single word).
This string of failures has turned the Voynich manuscript into a famous subject of historical cryptology, but it has also given weight to the theory that the book is simply an elaborate hoax — a meaningless sequence of arbitrary symbols.
You can find hundreds of pages on the internet devoted to this work, and thousands of intelligent individuals have given it a try, several devoting their lives to pursuit and understnding of this document and its code and meaning.
This is provided here for your academic fair use ... see if you can find in it something others have not.
If nothing else, the beautiful illustrations are fascinating all by themselves.
Print out the pages for wall decor, become a code geek, just enjoy history, It is your call ...
CD works on both Windows and Mac computer operating systems.
