Voynich manuscript may have been bound incorrectly, researchers say
Original: A medieval manuscript has confounded scholars for centuries. Have they been reading it wrong all this time?
Researchers argue that the Voynich manuscript, the medieval text that has defied decipherment for centuries, may have been bound incorrectly, and that this could radically change how scholars interpret its strange drawings and indecipherable script. The claim suggests that the current page order does not reflect the original, undermining long-standing theories about the text's structure and meaning.
Why now: A new research claim challenges centuries of assumptions about one of the world's most famous undeciphered manuscripts.
