Voynich
I could say a lot about the Voynich manuscript but here I’ll keep it brief. Basically, it’s a medieval text written in an unknown language (perhaps encrypted) and in 2009 it was carbon dated to the 15th century. The manuscript is named after the book dealer, Wilfrid M. Voynich, who acquired it in 1912.
Cryptographers and linguists haven’t been able to crack the language of the text — or explain it’s images. Some scholars speculate that the words might even be gibberish.
Regardless of the intended purpose of the Voynich manuscript I find the images striking and delightful. Below are a few pictures I selected from the manuscript:
The pictures are beautiful, playful, and at times crudely drawn. I find the imagery of tubes, tubs and bathers bizarre and provocative. Altogether it is an inspiring work to look at even if it means absolutely nothing.
