Hello writers and readers,
Today I would like to let you know about Voynich manuscript, It is a mysterious book that I discover just a while ago, This book is written in an unknown script, and that fascinates me a lot.
But let's explain something more about it.
The Voynich manuscript is an illustrated codex hand-written in an unknown writing system. The book has been carbon-dated to the early 15th century (1404–1438), and it may have been composed in Northern Italy during the Italian Renaissance. The manuscript is named after Wilfrid Voynich, a Polish book dealer who purchased it in 1912.
Some of the pages are missing, only around 240 remaining. The text is
written from left to right, and most of the pages have illustrations or
diagrams.
The Voynich manuscript has been studied by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including American and British codebreakers from both World War I and World War II.
No one has yet demonstrably deciphered the text, and it has become a famous case in the history of cryptography.
The mystery of the meaning and origin of the manuscript has excited the
popular imagination, making the manuscript the subject of novels and
speculation. None of the many hypotheses proposed over the last hundred
years has yet been independently verified.
Over the unknown script the amazing thing is that the manuscript has a lot illustrations and there are six sections: Astronomical, Pharmaceutical, Biological, Herbal, Recipes, Cosmological.
On this sections there are lot of diagrams, plants draws, and many of the female draws are partly naked.
The overall impression given by the manuscript is that it was meant to serve as a medicine book to address topics in medieval era. But there is also somebody that thinks there is also a connection to alchemy. However in all this years there was lot of theories and considerations about it.
