"The world's most mysterious manuscript" for me. This make me think "There is really nobody can read it for sure!" if this has been written. It should be at least translated or read.
Maybe it came from a lost land or a lost civilization but the manuscript was written was made between 1404 and 1438. In addition, the McCrone Research Institute in Chicago found evidence that the ink was added to the parchment around the same time as the creation of the parchment itself, confirming that it is an authentic ancient document.
Nowadays we're still trying to decode the language of it. The letter was written by a feather pen. It contains with 240 pages but some of the pages was torn. The front cover was made by a calf's skin.
Inside the book contains with a letters and pictures that has never been seen before. The book has been kept by "Beinecke Rare Bood & Manuscript Library". Most of the pages contain with a strange plant, nude women attach with tubes like a blood vessel. There's something seem to be a diagram of astronomy and a picture like a cell.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Botany's Part : 130 pages of a drawing plant with a name and explanation of each plant.
Astronomy's part : most of a drawing is a circle, the sun, the moon, a constellation but some pages contain with a strange drawing for example a chart of zodiac, a nude woman holds a constellation surrounded by a zodiac and some of the pages can be spread out for 6 pages. This part contains with 26 pages.
Biology's Part : there's a drawing seem to be a human's organ, a nude woman with tubes like a blood vessel and some of the woman has a crown on her head. This part contains with 4 pages with 28 drawings.
Pharmacology's Part : this part's similar to a Botany's Part. A drawing like a container that has been used by a pharmacy in the 15th century. This part contains with 34 pages.
Formula's Part : expected to be a medicine's formula because it was written in a short paragraph for 324 paragraphs but if we count on the lost pages. All of the "Formula's Part" will be 360 - 365 paragraphs. At the start of paragraph will begin with asterisk(*). But some people presume that this part must be a predictable calender which tell the event in the future. This part contains with 23 pages.
And the last page suppose to be "A Key of The Voynich Manuscript's Decipheration"
