The Code Nobody Cracked: The Story of the Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich Manuscript is one of the most puzzling artifacts ever discovered. While its ink and parchment are ordinary for the time it was made, everything else about it is downright strange. The book is written in a language that no one can read-one that does not match any known language, past or present.
The pages are filled with odd drawings of plants that do not exist, stars and planets shown from impossible angles, and pictures of women sitting in strange tubs connected by pipes. Some of the illustrations seem to tell a story, but without understanding the text, no one can be sure. Despite decades of research, no one knows who wrote it, why it was created, or what it means.
This book brings together everything we know about the Voynich Manuscript, covering its strange history, mysterious contents, and the most popular theories about its purpose.
