Voynich Reconsidered: a 20th century mystery
Voynich Reconsidered is my second book in the series that I like to call "Great 20th Century Mysteries".
The book is an investigation, primarily from my perspective as a mathematician, into the possible meaning of the Voynich Manuscript.
In the year 1637, a Bohemian scholar sent a mysterious book to the celebrated professor Athanasius Kircher in Rome. Perhaps it was what we now call the Voynich manuscript; we do not know for sure. Kircher promised to decipher it when the mood took him. But he never did.
That's where our story begins.
