The Voynich Manuscript is an illustrated codex written in an unknown script that has not been deciphered. Radiocarbon dating of the vellum places it between 1404 AD and 1438 AD.
The author, language, and purpose of the manuscript remain unidentified. The manuscript was named after Wilfrid M. Voynich, a Polish–Lithuanian book dealer, who discovered it in 1912 AD at the Villa Mondragone, a Jesuit college near Rome, Italy.
Historical records trace its earlier ownership to Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II in the late 16th century AD and subsequently to several scholars and collectors.
The manuscript is currently housed at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University, catalogued as MS 408. It consists of approximately 240 vellum pages bound in a single volume, with sections devoted to botanical drawings, astronomical and astrological diagrams, biological illustrations, pharmaceutical depictions, and continuous text in an unknown script.
The pages are written from left to right and contain fold-out inserts, circular diagrams, and detailed ink illustrations colored with paints.
The handwriting is consistent throughout, suggesting a single scribe or a highly standardized script.
