Who Is The Voynich Manuscript: Hoax Or History?

The Voynich Manuscript: Hoax or History? Since the early fifteenth century, a famous case in the history of cryptography, the Voynich manuscript, has puzzled cryptographers and scientists all around the world. Professional and amateur cryptographers believe the encrypted 240-page novel is written in an ancient code. Others believe it is written in a language yet to be discovered but translators have disproved this theory because the writings do not follow linguistic rules (Gannon). Over hundreds of years, no one has yet to break the theorized code leading researchers to believe that the Voynich manuscript is an ancient hoax. Although many people believe the Voynich manuscript was a hoax created by a swindler, it can be proven that the encrypted book is in fact written in Italian anagrams by an Italian science researcher in order to hide his ideas and discoveries.
To understand the information within the manuscript scientists have first gone back in time, taking a close look at its history. The journal features encrypted literature and detailed drawings of plants, animals, human anatomy, and astrological

First the professional looked at fifteenth century Italian and compared it to the writings in the book because the book's origin is Northern Italy. Several of the letters within the manuscript resemble fifteenth century Italian (Sherwood). However, the letters do not make comprehensible words. This led Sherwood to believe that the writings must be coded in anagrams. Linguistic professionals have agreed that the parchment's writings do not follow linguistic rules (Gannon). This means that the manuscript does not form words so anagrams is the likely used code. One can find several deciphered sections of the Voynich Manuscript on Edith Sherwood's website where she uses the Italian anagram method to decipher the
