Sinopsis

It is named after a Polish rare book dealer who surfaced the manuscript in 1912. Its history and provenance are uncertain. Many people have been proposed as possible authors, among them Roger Bacon, John Dee or Edward Kelley, Giovanni Fontana, and Voynich.ááThis 80-page book contains the proceedings of a one-day seminar on the Voynich manuscript, held in Washington, DC on 30 November 1976, notable for the prominence of personnel of the National Security Agency, which was at the time even more deeply shrouded in secrecy than it remains today.áThe contents include:General Introduction.áVery Filby, Sponsor.Introductory Remarks.
