The Voynich Manuscript thought to be made in Europe in the early fifteenth century comprises hundreds of pages of intriguing texts and images—the problem is no one can decode them. Composed in an unknown alphabet with mysterious drawings the manuscript has been interpreted as a hidden cipher a feminist proclamation a forgery or even evidence of aliens. In this online conversation Lisa Fagin Davis executive director of the Medieval Academy of America and Getty's senior curator of manuscripts Elizabeth Morrison look at the various analyses and proposed solutions of the manuscript’s enigmatic puzzles.
