No one can read the file from the 15th century, and each believe they are compiled by alchemists, others that the work of the prophets whom God dictated the future, while a third believe that its authors actually visitors from outer space.
Voynich manuscript writing in the 15th century, was rediscovered in 1912, is certainly the most mysterious book in history. Language which was written no one ever managed to decipher, his drawings are confusing, and not the most scientific efforts to learn more about him were unsuccessful.
So it is no surprise that the existence of such a book inspired incredible theories – from being the work of a secret brotherhood of the alchemists, or the prophets, and to the fact that it was written by an alien.
History
Voynich manuscript was created between 1404 and 1438. This is what the scientists were able to conclude that carbon dating using C 14. And it is, in fact, the only thing you really know about the manuscript.
In addition to books, and their unusual destiny. Although it was created in the 15th century, the first information about it are two centuries old. In a letter from 1666 states that belonged to the Emperor Rudolf II (1552-1612), who gave for it 600 gold pieces, or 2.07 kilograms of gold. The next owner was an alchemist Georg Bareš from Prague. After his death, the manuscript was changed several owners, until finally he reached the Atanasius Kircher, who is claimed to have deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphics. The book is now gone, and once again it was discovered Wilfried Vojnić 1912. It is now at Yale University, and scientists do not cease to be tested.
Some of the theories about the origin of languages and alphabets are:
A fictional language
As Esperanto. If there really is such a language has shared the fate of Esperanto – no one knows. Although it is unlikely that I would not stay still some trace of this unknown language.
Encrypted manuscript
In addition to historian and bibliophile, Voynich handwriting dealt with and cryptographers, and to the best – those who managed to break all the enemy codes in the two world wars. However, they did not succeed. The only thing I have found, thanks to repetition in the text, is that the system that is used in the book has all the characteristics of a real language, but were unable to conclude any. Code no one has managed to break into.
Coded manuscript
According to this theory, the whole words (not letters) in the manuscript are codes that are “translated” by special “vocabulary”. Considering how many words are there in this manuscript, Dictionary would have to be just right so much the same.
Mikroletter
One of the earliest proposals for solving mysteries was that the words do not mean anything, but are themselves made up of letters very small letters that are visible under huge magnification. How is any of this had to be done in the Middle Ages, remains unknown. (Although there are records in mikro letter from the 9th century, but it was not nearly such a fine, such as the theory suggests)
The correct language
The real language, written in strange Oriental alphabet. It is not quite historically impossible because some details (the division at 360 degrees rather than 365 days, the lack of numbers, repeat “consonants”) indicate that the author would not be from the east, visiting Europe.
Glossolalia
The occurrence of an internal (or divine) instinct, instincts whoever says or writes that throws heaps of meaningless syllables or words. However, the question is whether the funds received for a book of this size.
Ancient Egyptians
The first theory of Voynich manuscript originated in the 17th century. Alchemist bares believed that the author was someone who knew all the secrets of ancient Egyptian medical. In the 20th century theories were somewhat different, but the Voynich concluded that only Roger Bacon, English monk of the 13th century, the philosopher and one of the first serious scientists, could be its author. In this theory believe that many, but there were skeptics, who are accused of antiques that I wrote the book. As they argued, had enough knowledge to make a convincing forgery that would bring him fame and money. Of course, both theory fell into the water when scientists at the University of Arizona, 2009. Book subjected to testing using radioactive carbon. Then, without a doubt, it was found that it was created at the beginning of the 15th century.
Experiments on humans
That is Voynich manuscript remained a mystery despite the development of scientific methods, has led to the emergence of two more attractive theory – that a book written by members of a secret brotherhood alchemist and it hide all your secrets and that the log file of one or more aliens who visited Earth in the middle Ages. The proof of the first parts of the structure which are considered herbarium or recipes, but many scientists believe that it is not impossible. As far as the other theories, as proof that the correct individual researchers state that shows the plant does not exist on Earth, which are drawings of constellations and stars pretty accurate for the 15th century, as well as to the drawings of naked women presented in tubs and capsules associated pipes and cables. That, analysts say, it shows that experiments on these women in one of the spaceships.
Prophecy
Four years ago, appeared Another theory about Voynich manuscript. The Finnish businessman Waco Latvala goes with the statement that was able to read the text, but not by using cryptographic methods, but thanks to divine intervention. Apparently it comes to prophecy …
Content: The manuscript is divided into sections and illustrations;
FROM SPACE TO BARE WOMEN
As no one was able to read the handwriting Voynich, observing the illustration on page 200 (a few of them is lost) it was concluded that the book has six parts. In the first, called “Herbarium” on every page is a drawing of some unknown plants and a few sentences of text. The second part, “astronomy” has diagrams and drawings of the sun, moon and stars, as well as different constellations. With illustrations of 12 constellations drawn after 30 naked women, each holding a one star.
“Biological”, the third part of the manuscript, containing drawings of naked women, some of which have the crown and swim in the pool, while the “cosmological” are obscure diagrams and maps of unknown islands connected pipes. The “pharmaceutical” are drawings of unknown plants and parts of something like the pharmaceutical containers.
The last part of the secret manuscript is called “recipes” and consists only of text with a drawing of a star in the left margin of each paragraph.
Steven Baks: I found 10 WORDS
Professor of Linguistics University in England Bedfordshire Steven Baks last year came out with a statement that deciphering the letters 14 and even 10 words from Vojničevog manuscript.
– I followed the illustrations of plants and constellations, and I realized how to write their names. These are the words of coriander, juniper and hellebore, and the constellation of Taurus – said Baks.
Skeptics: A prankster WORK OR CRAZY MAN
THE DISCOVERY THAT VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT ACTUALLY ORIGINATED IN THE 15TH CENTURY IS NOT SILENCED THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT IT IS A FRAUD. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER BLAMED FOR FRAUD WILFRIED VOJNIC, HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO CLAIM THAT IT HAS CREATED A JOKER OR EVEN A MADMAN FROM THE 15TH CENTURY. HOWEVER, IT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE THAT SOMEONE IN THIS PERIOD OF HISTORY SPENT SO MUCH TIME AND RESOURCES JUST TO JOKE. ALSO, LIKE THE ISSUE OF GLOSSOLALIA, IT’S AMAZING THAT ANYONE WOULD ALLOW A MADMAN TO 200-PAGE WRITES NONSENSE.
