The Voynich manuscript is a mysterious book thought to have been written in the 15th or 16th century and comprising about 240 vellum pages of handwritten text, of which the majority have illustrations. The text of the manuscript has never been deciphered, and the author, script, and language remain unknown. Since its recorded existence, the Voynich manuscript has been the object of intense study by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including some top American and British codebreakers of World War II fame, all of whom failed to decrypt any portion of the text. This string of failures has turned the Voynich manuscript into a famous subject of historical cryptology, but it has also given weight to the theory that the book is simply an elaborate hoax—a meaningless sequence of arbitrary symbols. The book is named after the Polish-American book dealer Wilfrid M. Voynich, who acquired it in 1912. Currently the Voynich manuscript is stored in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Yale University as item "MS 408". The first facsimile edition was published in 2005.

Asked by Bartender - Wed Dec 23 17:11:38 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Neither one -- it remains a mystery to this day. If it was someone's personal code (and that is one of the main theories) then it will be almost impossible to crack. And if it is ever proven to be a hoax, then it will have been one of the greatest hoaxes of all time. :) Answered by David - Wed Dec 23 17:29:58 2009 Some of the worlds unsolved mysteries!!?

There are plenty of historical "cipher mysteries" out there, most of which have been snarfed up many times over by airport novelists looking for cool real stuff to construct their tortuous historical-religious-cons piracy plots around. Did someone say Knights Templar or Masons? No? OK, I'll continue... So, the Voynich Manuscript and Zodiac Killer cipher you already know about, but there's also the Phaistos Disc, the Rohonc Codex, the Beale Papers, Dorabella Cipher, Taman Shud, etc. There are also a fair few historical map mysteries out there, such as the Vinland Map and the Piri Reis map. Oh, not forgetting various unsolved ancient languages, such as Linear A, Etruscan, Indus Script, etc. Answered by Nick Pelling - Tue Apr 20 19:28:42 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "voynich manuscript"  news.google.com Wed, 30 Jun 2010 01:21:35 GMT+00:00 Muskogee Daily Phoenix ... day and by night verges on decoding the enigmatic Voynich Manuscript , a 500-year-old scientific treatise on the planets, written in an unknown language. ... news.google.com Fri, 11 Jun 2010 20:39:09 GMT+00:00 faqt zal het Voynich Manuscript ooit zijn geheimen prijsgeven?
