In 1912 a bookseller named Wilfrid M. Voynich acquired a beautifully illustrated handwritten book (manuscript) written on vellum (vellum is a material that was used for writing before the introduction of paper). The “Voynich manuscript,” as it became known, resembles manuscripts written in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. However, it is written in a completely unknown script. To date, no one has been able to decode the script and understand the book’s content. Several theories have been proposed to explain the origin of the Voynich manuscript.
One theory is that the manuscript is a genuine work on some scientific or magical subject composed in a complex secret code. Anthony Ascham, a sixteenth-century physician and botanist, has been identified as a possible author, since many plant illustrations in the Voynich manuscript are quite similar to those in Ascham’s book on medicinal plants, A Little Herbal, published in 1550.
According to some other theories, the manuscript is really a fake and its text has no real meaning. For example, it has been proposed the manuscript was created by Edward Kelley, a sixteenth-century personality who extracted money from nobles across Europe by pretending to have magical powers. Kelley may have created the manuscript as a fake magical book to sell to a wealthy noble. He used a made-up alphabet in a completely random order. It looks like a book of magical secrets, but there is no meaningful underlying text.
Another theory is that the manuscript is actually a modern fake created by Wilfrid M. Voynich himself. As an antique book dealer, Voynich certainly had the knowledge of what old manuscripts should look like and could have created a fake one. Perhaps Voynich’s plan was to sell the fake as a mysterious old book if he received an attractive offer.
The reading states that Voynich manuscript Vellum wasoriginated by him and provides three reasons of support. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. He explains that none of these theories are convincing and refutes each of the author's claims.
First of all ,the article argues that the manuscript would be made by the Voyanich because this is composed of some genuine scientific and magical subjects with a comples secret code. additionally, since Voyaich manuscript illustrations similar with Anthony Ascham's plant illustration, thus This manscript origiated by Voyanich. this specific argument is challenged by the lecturer, He says that Voyanich was a ordinary man. he is concentrated about little herbon and most imprtantly plant, Though, it does not mean that he has hold some secrate code and did his work genuinely.
Secondly, the article states that Voyanich manuscript has no real meaning, that's why it is fake .
Furthermore, in the article states that he made this book completely random order of alphabet loos like a magical book and sell this to a wealthy noble but there is no actual meaning. The lecturer, however, rebuts this claim that although it was made as fake magical book for wealthy sell but it does not mean that it ie real because he just collect this from other book and sum up this for wealthy sell.
Finally, the article posits that for receive attractive offer, Voyanich had plan to sell the fake asa misterious old book because he have a enough knowledge the old manuscript look. In contrast,
the lecturer's position is that the material of manuscript does not hold any originality because it is actually 400 years older but the Voynich manuscript's material is not to the older than original. thus, this are not voynich's manuscript.
