MALE PROFESSOR

None of the three people mentioned in the reading was probably the author of the Voynich manuscript.

段落3

According to the first theory, whoever wrote the Voynich manuscript thought they were conveying information so important or so powerful that they used a special code to keep it secret.

That doesn’t fit what we know about Anthony Ascham.

隐藏原文=

Ascham was just an ordinary physician and scientist whose books didn’t contain any original ideas.

For instance, the Little Herbal mentioned in the reading was a description of common plants based on other well-known sources.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

If Voynich wanted to create a fake, maybe he could use vellum pages taken from some old manuscripts, but where would he get 400-year-old ink?

隐藏原文=

So it seems the manuscript was created centuries before Voynich obtained it.
