According to the reading passage, three names are proposed as the potential authors of the Voynich manuscript, a weird and mysterious book written on vellum that looks like 16th century's books. However, the listening passage disagrees with the ideas put forward in the reading passage.
In the line with the author's attitude, Anthony Ascham could be the writer of the manuscript and because of that the manuscript could be a scientific subject hidden in the codes. In contrast, the lecturer rejects the claim raised in the reading passage and sets out some information about the Ascham's inferior jobs and books back then which crosses his name out as a possible candidate for such powerful manuscript.
Moreover, the writer believes that this manuscript is without meaning or is fake, and Edward Kelley wrote it to took money from rich people by pretending that the manuscript was so magical. On the other hand, the speaker argues that, 400 years ago, the general knowledge of the people was low and there was no need for a delinquent to put lots of efforts on writing such an amazing manuscript. Building upon this fact, this theory is also off the table.
Furthermore, the lecturer calls into question the point presented by the writer that, Wilfird Voynich himself wrote the manuscript in order to gain some respect and reputation. Ironically, on the basis of the speaker's assert, one could see that, the vellum and the ink used in the manuscript are aged about 400 years that makes it impossible for the Voynich to create the book.
As a recap, although the reading passage provides some evidence to support the idea that whether Ascham, Kelley or Voynich are the possible authors of a found enigmatic manuscript resorting to some theories, the listening passage challenges these indications and opposes this conclusion.
