It is the world’s most mysterious manuscript. A book, written by an unknown author, illustrated with pictures that are as bizarre as they are puzzling — and written in a language that even the best cryptographers have been unable to decode. No wonder that this script even has a part in Dan Brown’s latest bestseller “The Lost Symbol”.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The manuscript's named after Wilfrid Voynich, a Polish book dealer who 'discovered' it in 1912—though some historians suspect he may have forged it himself.
The Voynich has inspired everything from MMORPG quests to multiple novels, yet its most dedicated researchers include a former military intelligence analyst who spent 40 years on it and died unconvinced.
