TPO35 voynich

In the passage, the author simply provides three theories which have been proposed to explain the origin of the Voynich. However, in the lecture, the professor illustrates that it is full of holes and disagrees with that from all three aspects.

To begin with, in the passage, the author thinks that the manuscript is a genuine work on some scientific or magical subject composed in a complex secret code. Nevertheless, in the lecture, the professor holds the view that Ascham who is a physician and botanist had no such ability to finish the complex code.

Besides, the second theory the professor casts doubts on is that the manuscript is really a fake and its text has no real meaning. On the contrary, in the lecture, the professor considers that people in that age did not have enough knowledge to distinguish the real from the fake. So, it was not necessary to take much care for it to make it complex and look like the real.

Finally, another evidence the professor adopts to refute the passage is that the manuscript is actually a modern fake created by Voynich himself. In the passage, the author states that Voynich planned to sell the fake to gain interest. Conversely, in the lecture, the professor argues that the ink on the manuscript is 400 years ago. So it is impossible for Voynich to create a fake one without the ink from that time.

To sum up, the author probably ignores something important, and whether the theory can stand needs to be discussed further.
