TPO 35 Task 1

The reading claims about the possible source of the encrypted manuscript called" Voynich manuscript" which is a book sheller acquire. this manuscript is written in a mysterious script which makes it impossible to decode in order to grasp its content. However, the lecture finds all the ideas implausible and presents some evidence to refute them.
First, the author argues that, due to the strike resemblance of illustration in Vonich's book with A little herbal book which is written by a sixteenth-century physician and botanist, He is the author of the manuscripts that represent it in an intricate coded manner. On the contrary, the professor highlights the fact that the Voynich manuscript conveys powerful or important information. The Anthony Ascham books not only did contain superficial descriptions of common plants, but they also do not need much elaboration in order to have encrypted scripts since the writer was an ordinary scientist who has not adequate knowledge to illustrate Voynich manuscript.
Secondly, the reading holds the view that the Voynich manuscript was the fallacious magical book with the invented alphabet, which was created by Edward kelly in order to take financial advantage from selling the manuscript by deceiving people with the idea that the book has magical power. In contrast, the lecture dismisses the point of view owing to the fact that in the sixteenth century there was no need to represent such an intricate and mysterious script for sake of frauding people to buy it Since they were not smart enough to figure out this issue and have simpler comprehension which Kelly could mislead them by less complex scripts.
Finally, the passage asserts that Wilfrid M> Voyinsh who is the original author of manuscripts with sufficient knowledge of old book since he was an old book dealer, has pretended the manuscripts is an old mysterious book with the purpose of selling the book. Conversely, the speaker brings up the fact that by harnessing modern technology we able to determine the age of ink and vellum that were used in the manuscripts. The estimation of the age of the Voynich manuscripts has revealed it should as old as 400 years old age. This analysis ruled out the theory of self-created manuscripts by Voyinch due to the fact that Manuscripts belong to centuries before Voyinch.
