The Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich Manuscript is really a lovely thing, from what I've seen of it. Most likely it's a rather old hoax, which is even better as it makes it dedicted to whimsicality and playfulness if you ignore the early aspect of gain by the creator. Even if you don't ignore that it clearly is the work of someone having fun and probably laughing up his sleeve as he worked.
Acording to one site the manuscript contains:
- unidentified plants;
- what seems to be herbal recipes;
- tiny naked women frolicking in bathtubs connected by intricate plumbing looking more like anatomical parts than hydraulic contraptions;
- mysterious charts in which some have seen astronomical objects seen through a telescope, some live cells seen through a microscope;
- charts into which you may see a strange calendar of zodiacal signs, populated by tiny naked people in rubbish bins.
