The reading passage presents three theories about the possible author of the "Voynich manuscript". However, the lecturer casts doubts on those claims made in the article. He is of the opinion that none of these theories is convincing enough.
To begin with, the author states that the manuscript might be a work composed of some kind of code that is too hard for anyone to figure out the meaning. It it mentioned in the reading that a physician at that time could be the author due to the similarity of his illustration and that in the manuscript. The professor rebuts this by stating that the physician was ordinary that he could not be equipped with the extra knowledge of the complicated code system. Furthermore, the illustration was just some common knowledge.
Secondly, the writer holds that the manuscript could be a fake using by a notorious men who pretended himself as someone with magical power, hence sell the fake magical book he made to extract money from the rich. The lecturer opposes this theory by mentioning the point that the book is extraordinary exquisite. In this case, it could not be a fake made by Kelley for fooling around people at that time. Since people were easily fooled and deceived then, Kelley would not put so much effort producing a fake piece.
Lastly, the author argues it might be the case that the manuscript is actually made by Voynich himself with his abundant knowledge of antique books. This argument is also contended by the professor. He says in the lecture that the book is already 400 years old, and it might be possible for Voynich to get the paper from 400 year-old books as the material of the manuscript, but it was not possible for him to get the ink from 400 years ago.
