It seems to be written in a cypher interrupted every now and then by bizarre drawings of naked women bathing in green waters, strange and alien-like plants, dubious geographical maps (considering that they are from the 15 th century…), strange natural elements and constellations. The document is superbly preserved with the hand writing clear and legible, but the alphabet used is incomprehensible. The manuscript has always been considered unintelligible and a true mystery. Cheshire claims that the manuscript was compiled at the court of Maria of Castile on Castello Aragonese just off Ischia. It has been carbon-dated to the first half of the 15 th century. What is all the fuss about?Īn ancient manuscript purchased in Italy in 1912by Polish book dealer Wilfrid M Voynich to which the manuscript owes its name is today held at the Beinecke Library, University of Yale (USA) where it is catalogued under call number MS408.
Some foreign media like The Guardian, for example were more cautious and somewhat sceptical when they published an article on the 16 th of May 2019 entitled: Latin, Hebrew … proto-Romance? New theory on Voynich manuscript. Much ado about nothing? The Italian press would have done better to show more prudence.
The initial story was taken down from the University’s website. We discovered in fact that the researcher is not a linguist, but a science writer and specialist in Human Behavioural Ecology.Īs a result of the uproar, the University of Bristol decided to distance itself from its research associate and released a statement in which it made clear that the work is entirely the author’s and is not affiliated with the University. A couple of days later however, the scientific community began to heavily criticise Cheshire’s method of research and the conclusions he had reached. Going right to the sourceGalactus managed to get hold of the papers published by Gerard Cheshire, PhD, research associate at the University of Bristol (UK) and author of these revelations. Everybody was thrilled and no one more so than the transcripters and translatorsat Galactus, all very eager to find out what was going on.
ANCIENT VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT TRANSLATION CODE
News stories were filled with hacker jargon: the code had been “cracked”, “no more secrets”. Reputed to be the discovery of the century – just recently press articles excitedly announced that one of the most mysterious ancient texts in the world, the Voynich manuscript had finally been decrypted after more than a century of relentless attempts.
