Beschreibungen/Notizen
The Voynich manuscript is a handwritten and hand-drawn book probably made in the fifteenth century. It is written in an unknown script nobody has been able to read so far. Considering its age, the mysteries surrounding it, and the number of people who have unsuccessfully tried to decipher it, the Voynich manuscript can be rated the most important unsolved cryptogram in the world. On 11 and 12 May 2012, a Voynich manuscript conference named "Voynich 100" took place in Villa Mondragone near Rome, Italy, gathering almost 80 attendants. "Voynich 100" was the second Voynich manuscript conference in history, the first one in more than 35 years, and the first one gathering more than about half a dozen people.
