The Voynich Manuscript: The Mysterious Code That Has Defied Interpretation for Centuries
An examination of the many theories surrounding this enigmatic text, apparently written in code
• Reveals the connections between this work and the Cathars, Roger Bacon, and John Dee
• Explains the cryptanalysis methods used in attempts to break the code
• Includes color images from the manuscript juxtaposed with other medieval writings
Since its discovery by Wilfrid Voynich in an Italian monastery in 1912, the Voynich Manuscript has baffled scholars and cryptanalysists with its unidentifiable script and bizarre illustrations. Written in an unknown language or an as yet undecipherable code, this medieval manuscript contains hundreds of illustrations of unknown plants, cosmological charts, and inexplicable scenes of naked “nymphs” bathing in a green liquid that some interpret as a symbolic depiction of human reproduction and the joining of the soul with the body.
Gerry Kennedy and Rob Churchill explore the mystery surrounding the Voynich Manuscript, examining the many existing theories about the possible authors of this work and the information it may contain. They trace the speculative history of the manuscript and reveal those who may be connected to it, including Roger Bacon, John Dee, and the Cathars. With the possibility that it may be a lost alchemical text or other esoteric work, this manuscript remains one of the most intriguing yet enigmatic documents ever to have come to light.
Gerry Kennedy is a freelance writer and has produced a number of BBC Radio 4 programs, including one on the Voynich Manuscript in 2001. Rob Churchill is a professional writer who has written scripts for many production companies, including the BBC and Thames Television. Both authors were consultants for the BBC/Mentorn Films documentary The Voynich Mystery. They live in London. .

The Voynich Manuscript: The Unsolved Riddle of an Extraordinary Book Which has Defied Interpretation for Centuries
In 1912, Wilfrid Voynich, an antiquarian book dealer, stumbled upon a strange volume, its vellum pages covered in a beautiful but unrecognisable script accompanied by equally mystifying pictures. The codex has remained undeciphered from that day to this. Voynich believed the codex to be the work of medieval philosopher Roger Bacon, others that of the Elizabethan mathematician and occultist John Dee. Whoever created the book—which now resides at Yale University—it remains to this day a singular enigma which continues to defy the best efforts of linguists, cryptologists, and scholars. With the benefit of the authors' exhaustive research, readers can hazard their own guesses as to the meaning and provenance of this most beguiling of mysteries. .

The Friar and the Cipher: Roger Bacon and the Unsolved Mystery of the Most Unusual Manuscript in the World
The Voynich Manuscript, a mysterious tome discovered in 1912 by the English book dealer Wilfrid Michael Voynich, has puzzled scholars for a century. A small six inches by nine inches, but over two hundred pages long, with odd illustrations of plants, astrological diagrams, and naked women, it is written in so indecipherable a language and contains so complicated a code that mathematicians, book collectors, linguists, and historians alike have yet to solve the mysteries contained within. However, in The Friar and the Cipher, the acclaimed bibliophiles and historians Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone describe, in fascinating detail, the theory that Roger Bacon, the noted thirteenth-century, pre-Copernican astronomer, was its author and that the perplexing alphabet was written in his hand. Along the way, they explain the many proposed solutions that scholars have put forth and the myriad attempts at labeling the manuscript's content, from Latin or Greek shorthand to Arabic numerals to ancient Ukrainian to a recipe for the elixir of life to good old-fashioned gibberish. As we journey across centuries, languages, and countries, we meet a cast of impassioned characters and case-crackers, including, of course, Bacon, whose own personal scientific contributions, Voynich author or not, were literally and figuratively astronomical. The Friar and the Cipher is a wonderfully entertaining and historically wide-ranging book that is one part The Code Book, one part Possession, and one part The Da Vinci Code and will appeal to bibliophiles and laypeople alike..

El Manuscrito Voynich/ the Voynich Manuscript (Ensayo Historico) (Spanish Edition)
The Voynich Manuscript represents Western History’s biggest and most disconcerting literary puzzle. Written in an incomprehensible code, it is the only medieval manuscript on earth that hasn’t been deciphered to this day. Analyzed during the Renaissance, the manuscript was lost for many centuries until it was rediscovered in the early twentieth century. All known techniques have been used to try and extract its secrets, but the Voynich Manuscript remains immune. The author leads us through a surprising and passionate journey beginning in the Middle Ages, where we are accomplices to the extraordinary figures that have tried to discover the mystery behind this fascinating work. Description in Spanish: El Manuscrito Voynich representa el mayor y más desconcertante acertijo literario de la historia. Se trata del único manuscrito medieval no descifrado que queda en el planeta. Está escrito en un código incomprensible, cuya clave no ha podido ser descubierta ni siquiera por los criptógrafos militares que rompieron los códigos alemanes y japoneses en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Sus páginas están cubiertas de ilustraciones de mujeres desnudas, plantas inexistentes y constelaciones desconocidas para la astronomía. Analizado ya en el Renacimiento, el extraño libro cifrado desapareció durante siglos hasta ser redescubierto a principios del siglo XX. Se han aplicado con él todas las técnicas posibles a fin de arrancarle sus secretos, pero el Manuscrito Voynich aparenta ser inmune a los esfuerzos de los estudiosos. Marcelo Dos Santos nos conduce por un largo, apasionante y sorprendente periplo histórico que se remonta hasta la Edad Media, nos devela los extraordinarios personajes que se vieron involucrados con el libro –desde el emperador Rodolfo II, hasta el alquimista de la corte isabelina John Dee, el farsante Edward Kelley o el mismísimo Leonardo Da Vinci-, nos presenta los intentos efectuados para extraer sus misterios y analiza las teorías antiguas y modernas acerca de su posible origen, su desconocido autor y sus asombrosos pero inaccesibles contenidos..
