The Voynich Manuscript

I had never heard of this until a couple of months ago. This is a 200 page manuscript with pictures and text in an unknown language:

I think I first heard of it around these parts. . . ? I wonder
if Monzo or Chalmers have any insight into this thing?

Athanasius Kircher, like Isaac Newton, appears to have advocated 53-
equal.

i found out about the Voynich manuscript while
searching the web for something else about a year
ago. i was fascinated, and spent a few days
downloading everything i could find about it.
but after a couple of weeks of intense study,
i was as baffled as everyone else, and eventually
lost interest.

Carl, how'd you guess that *i* would be into this?
it was a good guess!

Hi Joe,

I've heard about this for a long, long time now--maybe even since
grade school? You guys must not have spent enough time in the
anomalies or unsolved mysteries sections of your local libraries!

That was always the first place I'd go as a kid... boy, I really had
an insatiable appetite for all that stuff! There wasn't much relevant
on the tube way back then though... Leonard Nimoy's Ancient Mysteries
is about all I can remember--though I don't remember it ever featuring
anything as 'exotic' as the Voynich Manuscript.

take care,

--Dan Stearns

You're generally interested in Historical Things.

and to think i spend four years hangin' outside beinecke and never
went in to look at the rare books like this one!

(i spent lots of time across the street in the music library, taking
in all the dusty tomes speculating on tuning and the importance of
the harmonic series and such . . . )
