Open yourselves to the trippiness.
Scans.
I'm absolutely obsessed with this thing the more I read about it. I'll be so bummed if it turns out to be a hoax, but I honestly can't see how it would be. It's insane.
The Voynich Manuscript
Re: The Voynich Manuscript
I love this thing so very much. I worked it into a story, once upon a time - not by name, but with references to the writing style and the images.
I almost don't want it to ever get decoded. I like there to be a few mysterious things in the world. If it turns out to be real but as translatable as Linear A, I'd be content.

Re: The Voynich Manuscript
I love the Voynich Manuscript, but I always forget what the bloody thing is called, so thanks for the refresher. I will probably never go through with it, because it is a project of gargantuan breadth and length and I do like sleep and television an awful lot, but I have for years considered making portions of it 'readable' through means of a conlang. (There are other problems with this idea: what could I devise that would be worthy of it? Still, something about the concept of this kind of fictional translation appeals to me immensely.) At the very least I will probably use the Voynich alphabet as the basis of a constructed writing system at some point.
Re: The Voynich Manuscript
I looked at this, and it was very interesting. I am a sucker for these type of things, and conspiracy theories are always fun. Also, I must say, the Voynich Alphabet is gorgeous and I now have a font based on it =).
No spoony bard could spin a sweeter tale.

You must link me to this font. I need it. I may die if you don't.
