HOTS Learns of Mysterious Manuscript Deciphered… It baffled the FBI and even Alan Turing – the British mathematician who figured out how to break codes generated by the Nazi’s Enigma machine. But after a century of conjecture, Dr. Gerard Cheshire, a research assistant at the University of Bristol, says he has figured out the Voynich manuscript, reported the BBC. The Voynich manuscript is a text dated to the mid-15th century that contains a strange language that is both familiar and unfamiliar to scholars as well as intriguing illustrations. It’s sparked plenty of theories – many of them “out there” – but it turns out the language is proto-Romance, which was once common in the Mediterranean but also the language folks wrote stuff in (since Latin had that honor). So is it about a parallel world? Adventures to the center of the earth? Instructions on how to transmute lead into gold? Love potion recipes? Sadly, no. According to Dr. Cheshire, it’s a reference book written by nuns for Marie of Castile, Queen of Aragon. So that was a century of mystery for a mild disappointment, but apparently the linguists are excited.
