The Voynich
Manuscript, named after a book dealer who bought it in 1912, Wilfrid Voynich.
It was a mysterious manuscript which is believed to be either ingenious hoax or
unbreakable cipher.
Wilfrid believed
that the manuscript possibly was written back in the 13th century.
It was written with an unknown script which until now, many experts still
trying to break it.
No one really knows
the origin of this manuscript, but, experts believed that it was European.
The manuscript contains
a lot of illustrations, which eventually divided it to six sections; Herbal,
Astronomical, Biological, Cosmological, Pharmaceutical, and Recipes.
Some Facts
•The drawing of
plants in the herbal section are unidentified.
•There were some
drawings of tiny women which strongly represents body organs in the Biology
section • Circular diagrams that
some of it contains suns, moons, and stars. There were also symbols that fit
the zodiacal constellations.
•More circular diagrams in the
cosmological section and there were also
foldouts. One of it looks like a map or diagram, with nine island or rosettes
connected with causeways, and contains castles or volcanoes.
•There were many labelled drawings of parts
of plants in the pharmaceutical.
• Short paragraphs, marked in points of
flowers or stars.
•It was written from left to right,
without punctuation, and no indications
of any errors or corrections made in the manuscript.
• Whoever wrote this, sure is very
fluent in this language. It sounds impossible to be either a cipher or a hoax,
with the very smooth and peaceful writing. It’s very natural.
• The language follow some sort of law,
like, certain characters must appear in each word , some characters never
follow others, and some may be doubled or tripled, but else may not.
