Voynich Manuscript
Overview
A 240 page codex written in an unknown script that has defeated every cryptographer since its modern discovery in 1912 by Wilfrid Voynich. Its bizarre drawings of unidentifiable plants, bathing women, and astronomical diagrams date its vellum to the early 15th century. Now digitized and endlessly studied.
