TPO35 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 known, resembles manuscripts written in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. However, it is written in a completely unknown script. To date, no one has been able to decode the script and understand the book's content. Several theories have been proposed to explain the origin of the Voynich manuscript. One theory is that the manuscript is a genuine work on some scientific or magical subject composed in a complex secret code. Anthony Ascham, a sixteenth-century physician and botanist, has been identified as a possible author, since many plant illustrations in the Voynich manuscript are quite similar to those in Ascham's book on medicinal plants, A Little Herbal, published in 1550. According to some other theories, the manuscript is really a fake and its text has no real meaning. For example, it has been proposed the manuscript was created by Edward Kelley, a sixteenth century personality who extracted money from nobles across Europe by pretending to have magical powers. Kelley may have created the manuscript as a fake magical book to sell to a wealthy noble. He used a made-up alphabet in a completely random order. It looks like a book of magical secrets, but there is no meaningful underlying text. Another theory is that the manuscript is actually a modern fake created by Wilfrid M. Voynich himself. As an antique book dealer, Voynich certainly had the knowledge of what old manuscripts should look like and could have created a fake one. Perhaps Voynich's plan was to sell the fake as a mysterious old book if he received an attractive offer.
The text says that there is an old book that it is similar to a manuscripts. This mysterious book resembles writeen in the fifteenth and sixteenth crnturies. Until now, this book was not been decoded. Based on the text there are three theories that explains the origin of the book. However the lecture disagree with these theories and refutes each o the author's reasons.
First, the reading suggests that this book is a particular book and contains a lot of precious data. However, the professor rejects this idea by stating that Ascham was an oridinary man. The professor describes that the mentioned authot has just some typical books withou any determined idea. Also, the professor states about the herb and adds that this herb was not somethings such valuable. So, this theory is not correct.
Second, the passage supposes that the manuscript is a fake withot meaningful content that provided by Kelly. The lecture rebuts this reason by stating that the manuscripts are very elaborated. So, for fooling people in sisteenh century there is no need to such efforts and a simple book was enough to fool people. As you can see, by preparing a simple book he can obtain money. As a result, this theori is false.
Third, the reading contends that this book is a modern fake taht created by a book dealer. However the talk refutes the idea by describing that todau there are many advanced tools that can examine the book's material like ink. The experiments show that inks are belong to many times ago and the book is sreally an ancient book. As you can see, the professor rejects all the theories by providing meaningful examples.
