Wilfred Voynich was a Polish book dealer who purchased the manuscript in 1912. It's origins are unknown.
It is a codex, written in a text that is indecipherable but on studies by code breakers, they find that it does have some meaning behind it rather than random jibber jabber, and it is written left to right.
It has around 240 pages though there are some pages missing. It is filled with strange drawings and diagrams. Carbon dating has shown that it was made some time in the early 15th century. No one has been able to read it and no one knows what it is or what it means.
