Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich Manuscript is an illustrated codex hand-written in an unknown writing system, carbon-dated to the early fifteenth century. Despite centuries of study by professional and amateur cryptographers, the text remains undeciphered. Its adherence to Zipf's Law is often cited as evidence that the manuscript contains meaningful linguistic content rather than being a clever medieval forgery.
