About Voynich Manuscript:
Voynich manuscript is exactly a 234-page manuscript, filled with seemingly coded language and inscrutable illustrations.The whole manuscript majorly consists of pictures of plants and women along with multiple astrological diagrams. It reportedly has seven separate sections, botanical, astronomical, cosmological, zodiac, biological, pharmaceutical, and recipes.
Since the 17th century, the manuscript is believed to be the work of the 13th-century English alchemist Roger Bacon.
It’s been carbon-dated back to the 1400s and includes illustrations of plants that don’t resemble any known species. It’s named for the Polish book dealer who purchased it in 1912. It is believed to have been intended as a medaical text. Its first confirmed owner was Georg Baresch (1585–1662), an alchemist from Prague, who discovered it “taking up space uselessly in his library.” Baresch tried to investigate the manuscript’s origins, to no avail.
The manuscript changed hands for centuries until it was purchased by Voynich, who posited that it was authored by Albertus Magnus (an alchemist) or Roger Bacon (an early scientist).
The manuscripts visual content is generally described as being: herbal, botanical, astronomical, biological, and pharmaceutical, and specialists have observed characters from Latin/Greek/Old Cyrillic/ Croatian Glagolitic cursive, and Hebrew. However, some believe that Voynich fabricated the manuscript and its history all by himself. Various other hoaxes have been proposed over the years. Of course, that wouldn't explain the carbon-dating of the paper and ink. Centuries after its first (alleged) discovery, the Voynich Manuscript remains as impenetrable and inexplicable as ever.
