Introduction

The Voynich Manuscript is a 15th-century codex written in an unknown script and illustrated with plants and celestial maps that do not exist in the natural world. Despite a century of effort by cryptographers and linguists, the text remains undeciphered, leading to theories ranging from a complex hoax to a lost botanical manual. Its carbon-dating confirms it as an authentic artifact from the medieval period.

Our investigation utilizes AI and statistical linguistics to search for hidden structures and grammatical patterns within the text. We are bringing together the research on the world's most mysterious book and following the leads of medieval cryptography.
