A site concerning the Voynich manuscript and related matters by Philip Neal The Voynich manuscript, now MS 408 of the Beinecke library at Yale University, appears to be a late mediaeval scientific compendium written in an unknown cipher script.
It has been dated to the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries by experienced palaeographers. Most cipher texts of this period have easily yielded to modern cryptanalysis, but this one has defied experts for nearly 100 years. In these pages I make relevant historical material available in one location, with English translations for those who do not know the original languages but have other contributions to make. I also publish here my own opinions about the origin of the manuscript and speculations about the nature of the original text. Twenty first century material In December 2009 it was announced that the manuscript has been radiocarbon dated to AD 1421 ± 17 years within 95% confidence limits.
Twentieth century material Historical background John Dee. The Mystery of the Voynich Manuscript. Voynich. -Click here for the blog This page describes my theory about the possible origins, dating and content of the mysterious Voynich Manuscript. This theory proposes that the Voynich Manuscript may be a faux book, which was created between 1610 and 1620, and made to look as though it came from Francis Bacon's fictional island of New Atlantis. And as such, that it was made to look much older than it was, and that it includes a map of the fictional Bensalem, along with both real and fanciful representations of optics and other devices, flora and fauna, the Arts and sciences, astronomy and astrology.
And, that much of this was reflected from past, real works, but distorted into an imaginative reflection of how the author thought they would have been perceived and practiced by the advanced, fictional culture of New Atlantis. But as such, this has opened the possibility, within the theory, to a circle of influence, and less to one particular author.

That would be too few for a > syllabary. It might, only just might do, for Piraha, an Amazonian language with 7 consonants and 3 vowels, ignoring its two tones, and breaking up its consonant clusters, Linear-B style. (Jorge, they're your next-door neighbours, how about... oh, just pulling your leg). It couldn't do for Rotokas, because its 6 consonants and 5 vowels make 35 different syllables, even though Rotokas has no consonant clusters. Follow-Ups:
