Voynich Manuscript
The most famous of Voynich's possessions was a mysterious medieval manuscript which he had acquired in 1912 at the Villa Mondragone in Italy. It is written in an unknown script which several famous linguists and cryptologists have been unable to decrypt since the manuscript's first public presentation in 1915.

Famous quotes containing the word manuscript:
“The manuscript lay like a dust-rag on his desk, and Eitel found, as he had found before, that the difficulty of art was that it forced a man back on his life, and each time the task was more difficult and distasteful.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
