The Voynich Manuscript is a codex that is written in an unknown and possibly meaningless or encrypted language. The Voynich Manuscript [or MS 408 as codified in the Beinecke Library in Yale University] is theorized to have been written during the fifteenth century. Carbon-dating shows that the manuscript was written during the Italian Renaissance in Italy despite the lack of its effect on the art; however, the exact date and location are unknown to this date.

The Voynich manuscript is divided into six separate sections, and the illustrations on the pages suggest that these include the following. First, the botanical section includes illustrations of plants and herbs. The astronomy and astrology sections contain drawings of zodiac symbols, with the Sun, Moon, and various stars. The biological section includes drawings of women who are connected with tubes in water, and the cosmological section has drawings of medallions with stars. Finally, the pharmaceutical section includes medicinal plants and herbs, and, a section that is thought to be recipes exists, but is yet to be determined and possesses unbroken text. These images are wrapped in elegant writing from left to right. Overall, the codex is around 8.9 by 6.3 inches (in) and contains around 234 pages in its entirety.

One theory suggests that in the late 16th century, Rudolph II of Germany bought the book, which was passed onto an alchemist from Prague, and then his heir. After this, the manuscript vanished from the historical records for approximately 250 years but was found again by Wilfrid Voynich, for whom the manuscript was named after. Since this time, numerous cryptologists and scientists have attempted to decipher the codex.

Dr. Gerard Cheshire, a graduate of the University College London, has been studying the Voynich Manuscript and its mysteries since 2019. His studies show that the manuscript was a reference for the queen of Aragon and involve a guide on therapeutics. Also, he believes that MS408 is the only work written in Proto-Romance that has been discovered to date. We currently have an ongoing, amicable collaboration with Dr. Cheshire and the University College.
