“In the end, the world’s best code breaker concluded that the Voynich Manuscript code was not devised by Roger Bacon, nor was it, in all likelihood, even a code.”ĭon’t be fooled by myths and urban legends. It may help to know what William Sherman, head of research at the Victoria and Albert Museum, said about Friedman’s cryptographic efforts (the code-breaker who managed to decipher the Purple code during World War II): This castle, which also appears on page 10v of the Sloane 4016 manuscript Tractatus de Herbis, is where balsam (a medicinal plant which commanded astronomical prices at that time) was jealously grown.ĭiscover too the details of cryptographic research and draw your own conclusions about the nature of the Voynich text. See how Yale University sheds light on the castle depicted on page 86r of the Voynich with the swallow-tailed battlements identical to those of 14th and 15th century castles in northern Italy.

However, the great Leonardo was born on April 15th 1452 and died on May 2nd 1519, so at the very best it would have been made 14 to 48 years before his birth. It has even been said that the Voynich manuscript is the work of Leonardo da Vinci himself. How could this manuscript have been made by Roger Bacon if he was born in 1214 and died in 1294? There is a difference of almost two centuries. “The results of radiocarbon dating the four samples show that this parchment can be dated, with 95 percent probability, to the years 1404 to 1438, and with 68 percent probability to between14.” In the words of Paula Zyats and the Yale University curators:
The carbon-14 dating carried out by Arizona University, for example, definitively situates the manufacture of this manuscript between 14. The six explanatory essays answer all the enigmas of the Voynich manuscript on the basis of robust scientific data including details that disprove the hearsay about Roger Bacon, Leonardo da Vinci, etc. This book published by Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, in conjunction with the Yale University Press, features a complete and life-size reproduction of each and every one of the pages in the Voynich manuscript.
