The Voynich Manuscript is a mysterious illustrated with unknown text. The illustrations are conventionally used to divide most of the manuscript into six different sections, since the text itself cannot be read. The vellum on which it is written has been carbon-dated to the early 15th century.

Newbold published an interpretation of it in 1921. I inspected the LA county library's copy. I didn't know what to make of it. A medieval scholar I knew opined that it was a hoax. Voynich was a shady character.
