Both the article and the lecturer discuss a fascinating topic associated with voynich manuscript which was handwritten on vellum. The reading provides theories of aim of this book. However, the lecturer refutes each of the author's grounds.
First the reading passage discusses that the manuscript was a genuine, scientific work that is written in covert code. In contrary, the professor provides information that the author of book was ordinary physician who was not able to write elaborate text. He also states that example of flower in the book was already well known little herbal and it was widely used in common. Distinctly, a disparity exist between the article and the evidence exhibited by the professor. As a result, we can assume that the author had almost no factor to create the manuscript in the secret code.
Second, the reading pushes forth the idea that manuscript was really fake and had no meaning at all. Unlike this notion, the professor contends that, at that time people could easily have been fooled, so author had no reason to deceive the people at that time by writing fake manuscript. According to the professor, putting too much time on manuscript to cheat people is meaningless.
Finally, the article posit that manuscript might have been written by antique dealer whose purpose was to sell it wealthy noble. The professor refutes this point by explaining that even it had been created for that aim, there is no way to obtain the ink or paper that were used at that times, therefore attempt would be futile.
In summary, while the reading and the lecture provide interesting information with regard to voynich manuscript, a significant amount of evidence support that the listening presented more legitimate and tangible proofs. Hence, the reading passage fails to justify the claim towards the points which are made in the lecture.
