The Voynich manuscript is an ancient book that has thwarted all attempts at deciphering its contents. It appears to be a real language--just one that nobody has seen before. And it really does appear to mean something. But nobody knows what. There is not even a consensus on who wrote it, or even when it was written. Expert military code-breakers, cryptographers, mathematicians, linguists, people who get paid to find and decipher patterns, have all been left unable to decipher a single word.

My theory? Written by a doctor, its a 234 page prescription for some thing like blood letting or Trepanation.

It seems as it will remain mysterious for far longer- a username and password are required to view the pages in high res format.

Authors Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone make an excellent case that this manuscript was authored by Roger Bacon. The book is titled:
The Friar and the Cipher: Roger Bacon and the Unsolved Mystery of the Most Unusual Manuscript in the World; Doubleday, 2005

Bacon, an English philosopher, was a true pioneer in the scientific method. He had to avoid writing in Latin to avoid trouble with the church.
