Voynich Manuscript Apr 2026

Drawings of plant parts (roots, leaves) next to apothecary-style jars. The Top Theories

The manuscript is divided into several thematic parts based on its illustrations:

The remains one of the world's most enduring mysteries: a 240-page book written in an entirely unknown script and filled with bizarre illustrations of non-existent plants, astrological diagrams, and nude women bathing in strange plumbing systems. The Facts

It is officially designated as MS 408 and is held at Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library .

Others argue it is "meaningless gibberish" created in the 15th century to be sold as a rare, "magic" book to wealthy collectors like Emperor Rudolf II.

Carbon dating of the vellum (parchment) places its creation between 1404 and 1438 .
