Both the reading and the lecture discuss the mysterious origin of the “Voynich manuscript”. The author provides three possible explanations but the professor does not agree with them. Instead he gives three refutations.
Firstly, the speaker states that Anthony Ascham would not be a possible author because the concept of the manuscript does not fit with what we know about Anthony. According to the professor, Anthony was an ordinary botanist and his books did not contain any original information. In addition, the content of his book originated from other resources. That is, it is unlikely that he was the author.
In the second place, the professor contracts the second theory by contending that the manuscript could not be just a fake because it took a lot of care to make. Furthermore, people in the past are not that smart. As a result, one did not have reason to put a lot of work to create a fake manuscript to cheat on other people. Consequently, the second theory is wrong.
Thirdly, the professor challenges the third theory. He further explains that the timing is not reasonable with the theory. To illustrate, the ink used is a 4oo year old ink and where would the dealer get the ink and create the manuscript. Obviously, the last explanation has weakness as well.
