conflicting views about the origin and the content of the manuscript
Recently, there has been a ton of debates as to explain the origin and the content of the manuscript written on vellum. Most specifically, in regarding the reading passage, the writer puts forth the idea that there are several theories that explain the origin of the Voynich manuscript and its content. In the listening, the lecturer is quick to point out there are serious flaws in the writer’s claim. In fact, the professor believes the theories offer by the writer are probably null and addresses, in detail, the trouble with each point made in the reading.
First and foremost, the author in the article states that the manuscript is a genuine work on some scientific or magical subject written by the Ascham physician. Some professionals, in the same field, however, stand in firm opposition to this idea. In the listening, the lecturer believes Ascham was an ordinary scientist. He goes on to say that his books and his knowledge seem unlikely he was the author of such this scrip.
One group of scholars represented by the writer think that the manuscript is fake and he prepares it for sale to wealthy people. Of course, though, not all the experts in this field, believe this claim is accurate. Again, in the listening, the speaker points to this claim when he states this approach is so complicated and not easy to do. So, why he should spend so much time on it just for sale.
Finally, the writer wraps his argument by positing that maybe he wants to create a fake magic book for sale to antique book dealers. In the lecture, the professor takes issue with this point by contending that the book created 40000 years ago, and this claim is not possible.
To sum up, both the writer and speaker hold conflicting views about the origin and the content of the manuscript.
