Voynich manuscript
The reading and the lecture are both about the accuracy of an ancient manuscript called "Voynich manuscript", which was acquired by a bookseller. The author discusses three theories in order to reject the veracity of this manuscript. On the other hand, the professor is not convinced of this, and casts doubt on each of the theories presented in the reading. Point to the other side of the story, he is of the opinion that any of each persons mentioned in the passage can not be the author of the book through the following truths.
Firstly, the author argues that the book is an actual work of a magical or scientific work, and Anthony Ascham is the probable author of it. This specific argument is challenged by the lecture. According to the professor, the person who is mentioned in the reading as the probable author does not possess any original idea. Also, Ascham has not ever presented any original and personal book or knowledge. Furthermore, the professor asserts that the herbal depicted by Ascham are also gained form other sources.
Secondly, the author disputes that this manuscript is fake and the passages are meaningless. Additionally, the reading provides an example of Kelly to illustrates this notion. Kelly had created a manuscript utilizing made-up alphabets and random orders, and since his book looked magical the wealthy people of that time were willing to pay money for it. In contrast, the lecture opposes the viewpoint by asserting that this book is accurately organized. However, noble people at that time were not genuine enough to comprehend the complexity of the book and they hardly could recognize fake material. Since a good deal of accuracy and work had been put for this book, the second theory can not be verified.
Finally, the author averts that Voynich himself can be that author of book in order to acquire money from affluent people. Since Voynich was a book dealer, he was totally familiar with ancient books. The lecturer's stance is that the books material, the ink and the paper, has been dated by modern methods to 4000 years ago. Even Voynich could find old paper for his work, little in no way he could find a 4000 years old ink.
