This research paper presents a novel hypothesis regarding the origin and structure of the Voynich Manuscript:The text is not based on a natural language or a classical code, but on a rule-based combination of syllable and word components from multiple real-world languages — specifically Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic. Through statistical patterns, thematically assignable EVA words (e.g., in the botanical and medical sections), and semantic rule formation, concrete meaning attributions are proposed.

Abstract

This research paper presents a novel hypothesis regarding the origin and structure of the Voynich Manuscript:The text is not based on a natural language or a classical code, but on a rule-based combination of syllable and word components from multiple real-world languages — specifically Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic. Through statistical patterns, thematically assignable EVA words (e.g., in the botanical and medical sections), and semantic rule formation, concrete meaning attributions are proposed. The model enables the first coherent translation approaches of entire text passages. The hypothesis is further supported by a stylistic analysis suggesting a highly educated author, possibly a Jesuit scholar from the 15th century. Due to incomplete pages and the absence of any known copies, the manuscript is interpreted as an unfinished work. This paper offers new impetus for Voynich research by systematically connecting linguistic, historical, and structural aspects.
