The reading is mainly about a beautifully illustrated handwritten book. The author of the passage believes that there are three explanations of the origin of the book. However, the lecturer finds them dubious and casts a shadow on the comments. He believes that the reasons are incorrect.

First and foremost, the author asserts that the writer of the book may have been originated from scientific or magical work, and Anthony Aschman was the writer because he illustrated plants similar to the pictures of the book. On the contrary, the lecturer brings up the point that Aschman was an ordinary scientist, and he obtained his information from other scientific resources. For example, he wrote A little herbal based on well – known books that were available at that time.

Furthermore, the reading states that the texts of the book were unreal, and Edward Kelly gained a lot of money by pretending it as a precious book to rich people. In contrast, the lecturer dismisses this issue due to the fact that sixteen century people were straightforward to deceive, and it did not need much effort to make it complicated. The book was written based on real code, and he could use some simpler suited for his purpose.

Finally, the reading argues that the writer of the book is Voynich because he was a book dealer, and he tried to make some antique books to be sold. Conversely, the lecturer underlines the fact that one can not conclude that it was his work based on volume and ink of old books. He mentions that Voynich should have utilized the kind of ink which was used in forthy hundred years ago to show the book was ancient.
