The Voynich Manuscript | 
For #autumnplease day 20 I thought about the book I could think of that had the most secrets of its own - which led me right to the voynich manuscript and the encoded language no one's been able to read since it was discovered. Whether it's a hoax or not (I think it likely is) I still think it's unimagineably cool

As a Mystic I experience #synchronicity & #serendipity quite often so it's no surprise to find that different 📦 from different swap partners here on #Litsty would synchronize beautifully. As you can see #DeborahHarkness author of #BookOfLife also dies the #introduction on the manuscript as she is a historian of science and professor at #USC
As you can see the manuscript has awesome #fold-out pages for the larger and more complex images

I don't know if I feel excited or disappointed.
"Now since there was in my library, uselessly taking up space, a certain riddle of the Sphinx, a piece of writing in unknown characters.... From the pictures of herbs, of which there are a great many in the codex, and of varied images, stars and other things bearing the appearance of chemical symbolism, it is my guess that the whole thing is medical"
