tpo 35

In 1912 a bookseller named Wilfrid M. Voynich acquired a beautifully illustrated handwritten book (manuscript) written on vellum (vellum is a material that was used for writing before the introduction of paper). The “Voynich manuscript,” as it became known, resembles manuscripts written in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. However, it is written in a completely unknown script. To date, no one has been able to decode the script and understand the book’s content. Several theories have been proposed to explain the origin of the Voynich manuscript.

The reading and lecture are both about a Voynich manuscript which was used before the paper. The author of the reading notes that since no one could decode the script, understand the written document and proposed several theories of the origin of the manuscript. The lecturer challenged the claims made by the author. He is on the opinion that none of the three probably the author of the script.

To begin with, the author argues that the scientific, magical document was found in the script which is very close to Ascham’s book on medicinal plants. The article also mentions that Anthony Ascham was a physician and botanist, had been claimed as a possible author. The specific argument challenged by the lecturer. He claims that Anthony Ascham is an ordinary scientist and works mainly on to collect the picture of the plants from a different resource. He also states that the information conveyed is superficial not the magical code.

Second, the writer suggests that Kelley may be the author of the book because he used to make a random character to sell the noble for the money. He adds that the document looks like the magical but with the unnecessary text. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that the book was created with proper care. Moreover, the sixteenth centuries people are not so much smart as modern people and Kelley has not created those alphabets for only sells.

Third, the author posits that Wilfrid M. Voynich was created that book who is an antique book dealer and have knowledge of the old manuscript to sell the book as a mysterious book. In contrast, the lecturer position is that the vellum and ink are used in this book is 400 years ago. Additionally, he states it is impossible to make a copy of the ink that is 400 years old.
