The Voynich manu is an illustrated codex hand-written in an otherwise unknown possible writing system, referred to as Voynichese. The vellum on which it is written has been carbon-dated to the early 15th century (1404–1438), and stylistic analysis indicates it may have been composed in Italy during the Italian Renaissance. The origins, authorship, and purpose of the manu are debated. Various hypotheses have been suggested, including that it is an otherwise unrecorded  for a natural language or constructed language; an unread code, cypher, or other form of cryptography; or simply a meaningless hoax.



The overall impression given by the surviving leaves of the manu is that it was meant to serve as a pharmacopoeia or to address topics in medieval or early modern medicine. However, the puzzling details of the illustrations have fueled many theories about the books origin, the contents of its text, and the purpose for which it was intended Support
