Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they respond to the specific concerns presented in the reading passage
The reading passage asserts that a bookseller announced that he has a book named voynich manuscript is a book written in sixteenth centuries. The lecturer, however, challenges this idea, and provides three main reasons to refute it.
First of all, the author argues that because many Botanics shown in the voynich book are alike to plants in ascham's book, therefore, Anthony ascham is the writer of the manuscript. Conversely, the speaker brings up the idea that the Arschom's book is an ordinary book with no original idea, and the picture of common plants are represented in it, and they are borrowed from a well-known resource. As a result, the ascham could not be the writer of the voynich manuscript.
Secondly, the writer of the passage claims that the manuscript actually is a fake, and no meaning can be understood from its text. On the contrast, the lecturer underlines the fact that since the book was written in a formidable context in the fifteen century, and people of that time were not hard to be manipulated, there was no need that the writer to take that much care to fake it. If Kelley wanted to gain money only, he could write it in a more simpler way.
Finally, it is stated in the passage that wilfrid has faked the voynich manuscript because he is good at identifying old materials. On the other hand, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that although wilfrid voynich was an antique dealer, the modern method proved that the material is old. Moreover, maybe he was able to provide the old vellum, he could not access the old ink.
