A publisher is about to print copies of a manuscript that no living person can understand — and that has driven more than one codebreaker crazy. An obscure Spanish publisher is about to reproduce the Voynich Manuscript, described by Yale University (which owns the manuscript) as a “scientific or magical text” dating to 1401-1599. The book is c. 250 pages of “[unclothed] women, imaginary plants and astrological charts” and is written in a language that one of the twentieth century’s greatest cryptographers has called “totally made up.” It has also led “some of the smartest people down rabbit holes for centuries,” Folger Shakespeare Library exhibit curator Bill Sherman told the Washington Post in 2014. “I think we need a little disclaimer form you need to sign before you look at the manuscript, that says, ‘Do not blame us if you go crazy.’” The publisher plans to print 898 full replicas of the book, which it’s selling at USD 8k each.
