The Voynich Manuscript, named after Wilfrid Michael Voynich, who acquired it in 1912, is a handwritten medieval document believed to have once belonged to Rudolf II, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Its content remains an enduring mystery. The manuscript includes floral, anatomical, cosmological, biological, and pharmaceutical sections, all adorned with exquisite illustrations. Its geographical origin is uncertain, and its text is even more enigmatic—despite over a century of study, no one has succeeded in deciphering it. This book presents the complete surviving manuscript, allowing readers to rediscover its beauty through numerous detailed illustrations and close-up views.
