A researcher has made new claims about the historical journey of a centuries-old manuscript, widely considered one of the world’s most mysterious.
The Voynich manuscript is significant for having a unique, indecipherable script and colourful illustrations. Its authorship and purpose has been long debated.
Through carbon dating, researchers of the parchment has placed its origin in the 15th century. Scholars have traced its earliest ownership back to the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who bought it for 600 “ducats”, or gold coins, sometime between 1576 and 1612.
He follows the money. At the end of the article is this.
In 2019, Dr Gerard Cheshire, a linguistics research associate at the University of Bristol, claimed to have cracked the manuscript’s code in just a fortnight – despite academics such as Alan Turing and institutions such as the FBI never succeeding in the mission.
By studying symbols and their descriptions, Dr Cheshire said he discovered that the manuscript contains information on herbal remedies, therapeutic bathing and astrological readings about sex and reproduction, matters of the female mind, and parenting.
It was written in accordance with the Catholic and Roman pagan religious beliefs of Mediterranean Europeans at that time.
This "academic" was a year late and has nothing to demonstrate. This guy on the other hand:

There were like 3 or 4 books that all came out at once on this topic.
Read the article. It has nothing to do with a book.
