Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich Manuscript was an unknown book discovered in some library in the early 1900s. The manuscript was written in an unidentified "language" that still remians untranslated to this day. The manuscript has even baffled the professional code breakers of WW1 and WW2. To make decoding the manuscript more problematic, no other manuscripts written in Voynich have been discovered. Basing the drawings in the Manuscript, it could be divided into several "sections". The "sections" are the Herbal, Astronomical, Biological, Cosmological, and the "recipes". The European style drawings often depict plants, constellations, and almost psychedelic drawings of nude women "bathing" in an unknown green liquid.  The characters of the text are of an unknown language, but they also seem to be European in nature. The Voynich text seem to be too sophisticated pattern to be a gibberish hoax. Examination of the Manuscript's text seem to be that of a natural language. Carbon dating of the Manuscript dates it the 15th Centenary, and it is believed to be written in Italy. The purpose is unknown, but it seems to be a biological study of some-sort.
