The author states that three theories explaining the origin of the Voynich manuscript, and he provides three reasons for support. However, the professor claims that the three people who made the script mentioned by the author were unconvincing, and he refutes each of the author's reasons.

The professor contradicts this point by telling that it is unconvincing that Kelly was selling the book to rich people because of the people at that time were intelligent enough that they could know if this book was fake. In fact, the manuscript was a simple book that easily recognized by the population at that time.

Finally, the article explains that the third theory says the manuscript was a modern fake created by Wilfrid M. Voynich himself. However, the professor points out that the book Voynich and the ink used to write were 400 years old. So, if the Vonichy was creating it as a fake, from where he brought the ink which is 4000years old. Therefore, it seemed that the manuscript was discovered a century before Vonich obtained it.
