The Voynich Manuscript: Science's Most Famous Unsolved Book
Original: Mad about Science: The Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich Manuscript, a 15th-century illustrated book written in an unknown script, remains one of history's great unsolved mysteries. Written by an unidentified author and named after book dealer Wilfrid Voynich, it has resisted centuries of decryption attempts by linguists and codebreakers. Science writers continue revisiting it because no cryptanalysis, including modern computational methods, has deciphered its text or explained its strange botanical drawings.
Why now: Ongoing public fascination with undeciphered historical codes keeps the manuscript a recurring science story.
