In 1912 a bookseller named Wilfrid M. Voynich acquired a beautifully illustrated handwritten book (manuscript) written on vellum (vellum is a material that was used for writing before the introduction of paper). The "Voynich manuscript," as it became kno

The article states that Voynich manuscript which is claimed to be written in 16 or 17 centuries, is an issue of debate and provides three different theories about origin of that. In contrast, the lecturer explains that none of these theories is meaningful and refutes each proposal.

First, the article explains that the first theory proposes that this genuine work book maybe was written by Ascham because there are some similarities between them. On the other hand, the professor opposes this idea by saying that the Aschame's book, A little herbal, does not have any original idea and it is only some gathering about well-known plants and it can’t be compare with the elaborated magic and secret book like as Voynich manuscript.
Second, the article provides the second proposal which it claims this Asham's manuscript is no more than a really fake book without any special meaning. However, the professor argues this point by explaining that in the 16 century it did not need to write a difficult coded book to trick people. He implies that this hardworking book contains many secret and magic.
Third, in the reading, the third proposal posits that Ascham's manuscript can be a modern fake created by Wilfrid M. Voynich to sell as an ancient book. The professor opposes this theory by brings this statement that this book composed of paper and ink that goes back to 400 years ago; and he might provide old pages from other ancient books but he could not get or produce a 400 years old ink to write this book.
