This in-depth take on the mysterious Voynich manuscript features complete and life-size reproductions of all of the pages in the Voynich manuscript, as well as analysis provided by leading international experts.
The six explanatory essays answer the enigmas of the Voynich manuscript on the basis of robust scientific data. For example, the carbon-14 dating carried out by Arizona University definitively situates the manufacture of this manuscript between 1404 and 1438, disproving the hearsay about involvement by characters ranging from Roger Bacon to Leonardo da Vinci. Discover, too, the details of cryptographic research and draw your own conclusions about the nature of the Voynich text.
Don't be fooled by myths and urban legends. For less than 50 euros you can be the owner of a photographic facsimile of the entire Voynich manuscript, complemented by the latest and most rigorous studies about the codex, all in one book!
