Voynich Manuscript
29.99 €
The Voynich Manuscript is a manuscript whose mystery has haunted minds for centuries. An unknown author, unseen plants and illustrations, a strange language, unlike any existing on Earth. What is it? Many are lost in speculation. Some consider it an ancient codex, and others - an absolute hoax. It is only known that the manuscript is about four hundred years old and it is quite possible that it was created in northern Italy. The main thing is that its magic for people is so strong that even after centuries the interest in it does not weaken. The Voynich Manuscript is one of the mysteries of mankind, which can and should generate entertaining stories and conspiracies that have nothing to do with reality. Frankly speaking, I really wish that the mystery of the manuscript was never solved, and it became as popular and mysterious as the Bermuda Triangle, the monster from Loch Ness or the "Flying Dutchman". Because the truth will be much more boring than a beautiful, implausible myth. Foreword by Sergey Zotov
