The Mysterious Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich Manuscript has been a thusfar untranslated tome filled with an unknown script, written by an unknown author, in some unknown language. Over the years, countless numberss of professional and amateur cryptographers have tested their mettle against this mysterious book and failed.

So what secrets does the Voynich Manuscript contain? What do the strange words and strange illustrations depict? Is it just some elaborate hoax?

The Voynich Manuscript is considered to be 'The Most Mysterious Manuscript in the World'. To this day this medieval artifact resists all efforts at translation.

It is either an ingenious hoax or an unbreakable cipher.

The manuscript is named after its discoverer, the American antique book dealer and collector, Wilfrid M. Voynich, who discovered it in 1912, amongst a collection of ancient manuscripts kept in villa Mondragone in Frascati, near Rome, which had been by then turned into a Jesuit College (closed in 1953).
