Copies of Mysterious Voynich Manuscript to Be Published for the First Time in Hopes That Someone Will Crack Its Code
22nd August 2016
A Spanish publishing house has won the right to publish a limited series of reproductions of the so-called Voynich Manuscript, whose parchment-like pages of strange letters and swirling images have bamboozled the world of medieval academe and cryptology for decades.
Indeed, by making copies of the tantalising tome available to a wider audience for the first time, its custodians at Yale University are hoping that perhaps someone somewhere in the world will glimpse its pages and step forward with the key to crack their strange and wonderful code. There are 20-25 unique symbols in the book’s text, all running in a jumble no one can grasp.
