A Hypothesis on the Structure and Deciphering of the Voynich Manuscript: Botanical Key and Zodiac Calendar

Ladies and gentlemen, I offer you one of the variants for deciphering the Voynich Manuscript. I have not disclosed all the data, although I managed to establish the place where the manuscript was written and who the author is, without stating the name. I do not claim that this variant is final and correct. For centuries, the Voynich Manuscript has remained one of the most impenetrable mysteries of cryptography and history. Most researchers have unsuccessfully attempted to decode the text as a single linear array or tie it to known linguistic systems. However, a comprehensive analysis of the folio structures allows us to look at the problem from a completely new angle

Abstract

Ladies and gentlemen, I offer you one of the variants for deciphering the Voynich Manuscript. I have not disclosed all the data, although I managed to establish the place where the manuscript was written and who the author is, without stating the name. I do not claim that this variant is final and correct. For centuries, the Voynich Manuscript has remained one of the most impenetrable mysteries of cryptography and history. Most researchers have unsuccessfully attempted to decode the text as a single linear array or tie it to known linguistic systems. However, a comprehensive analysis of the folio structures allows us to look at the problem from a completely new angle
