世界最大の奇書、未だ解決されない謎のヴォイニッチ手稿

For a long time, we have been interested in things we don't know about. An alien who wants to have a power beyond human knowledge, like a god or a devil. A magician who tries to decipher the spell of power. There is one book that was born from the history of such people. A strange book later described as the mystery of the world by Mondragone in Italy. It is the Voynich Dictionary. A book of mysteries that no one can read. Hello, I'm Rei. There are many mysteries left in the world, but the Voynich Dictionary continues to tell the mystery. This time, it is a report about this book that you may have heard of. It started in Italy 100 years ago. The Voynich Dictionary refers to a mysterious book discovered in Italy in 1912. This book is said to be one of the great works of art, because it has pictures of unexplained letters and plants that should not exist. This Voynich Dictionary has been rumored for a long time, and it is said to be a wind-up art by artists. There have been many theories that it was made by a madman. Even now, more than 100 years have passed since the discovery, but the content of the writing is still a mystery, and it is still treated as the greatest mystery in the world. By the way, the Voynich Dictionary was found by the Polish archaeologist Wilfried Voynich. The Voynich Dictionary was published in the world in 1915 by Voynich, and it was investigated by many archaeologists and cryptographers, but in the end, it did not reach a mysterious conclusion. It is now stored at Yale University in Connecticut, USA. It is thought that the Voynich Dictionary is a copy of plants and celestial bodies, so it is sometimes called a Voynich copy. The size of the Voynich Dictionary is 23.5 cm in height and 16.2 cm in width. The thickness is about 5 cm, and the number of pages is about 240 pages. The content is described in detail about plants and celestial bodies, as if it were used for research, and there are quite a few unanswered letters written about it. This unreadable letter written in the Voynich Dictionary is a strange letter that is different from any other letter in the world. I think it's an explanation because it's written in a mysterious picture, but I can't read it. You might think, well, I just wrote something like a letter, but many linguists have found that the letters written in the Voynich Dictionary are irregular and meaningless. The Voynich Dictionary has a lot of very strange pictures, not just unanswered letters. You've seen this picture before, haven't you? Many of them depict plants and flowers. Well, they don't really exist. Plants and flowers depicted in the Voynich Dictionary... There are also pictures of stars that look like celestial bodies and pictures of women bathing in water, as well as pictures of strange objects that are complicatedly intertwined. All of these pictures are so confusing that even researchers get confused. Who made them? When? Where? The Voynich Dictionary has not been deciphered to know when it was made, so we don't know for sure. However, we know that the Voynich Dictionary was made around 1440. So we know that the Voynich Dictionary was made after the early 1400s. In addition, according to the existing letters on the Voynich Dictionary, in 1582, the new Roman emperor Rudolf II purchased it. So the Voynich Dictionary was made between 1400 and 1582. Even if you don't know all the letters and pictures, it's amazing that you can understand so much. But who made it? There are still some theories about the Voynich Dictionary. Edward Cary, a Bohemian alchemist and magician, is one of the candidates for the Voynich Dictionary. At that time, Cary made the Voynich Dictionary in order to prove Rudolf II, who was passionate about alchemy. Roger Bacon, a British philosopher, is also one of the candidates for the Voynich Dictionary. Bacon was a pioneer of modern science, focusing on experimental observation. He made the Voynich Dictionary in order to protect pharmacology from religious persecution at that time. Speaking of the value of the Voynich Dictionary, Rudolf II said it was worth 600 dacats, which is said to have been purchased from 60 million yen to 120 million yen. At that time, it was known to be very valuable as an alchemy book. At that time, it may have been the most popular alchemy book. For what? This mysterious Voynich Dictionary. We really want to know. What was it made for? There are various theories about this. For example, there is a theory that the Voynich Dictionary is a fake that is expected to be an alchemy book. In the Middle Ages, alchemy was expected to be an all-purpose secret technique. The Bohemian King of the time, Rudolf II, wanted to get the Voynich Dictionary even if he had to pay 600 dacats. For this reason, some people who study alchemy may want to make a fake to make money. However, the paper used in the Voynich Dictionary was of high quality and high quality, so it is said that the author was a person who had already realized a certain amount of assets. In addition, the act of deceiving the king was a direct execution if the truth was revealed, so it is certainly questionable whether it was necessary to make the Voynich Dictionary even at such a risk. And this cryptography theory is emphasized in the fake theory. Since the Voynich Dictionary contains letters that cannot be read normally, it may have been a cryptography text that secretaries used as a means of communication. John Dee, who is said to have been involved in the purchase of the Voynich Dictionary by Rudolf II, is also said to have been involved in the movement of the Rose Cross, a secret organization. In addition, it is also said that Roger Bacon, who was afraid of the disappearance of pharmacology due to the religious persecution of tactics, made a cryptography and left a medical record. However, I think that it was really a cryptography that could not be deciphered even in modern times. Finally, let me introduce an occult theory. This is a theory that says that the plants depicted in the Voynich Dictionary do not exist in this world, and that those created in the parallel world are lost in the current world for some reason. It is a theory that is often talked about in the occult world when looking at the Voynich Dictionary as a large part. If our world is made in another world, there is also an explanation in the pictures of plants that cannot be deciphered or do not exist. Of course, the existence of the parallel world has not yet been confirmed. This time, I will omit the explanation because it is a Voynich Dictionary, but it seems that the parallel world exists in theory. Was it recently deciphered? Among the people I have introduced so far, there may have been some people who were somehow confused. Isn't it deciphered? On September 9, 2017, Nicholas Gibbs, a historian, announced that he had succeeded in deciphering the Voynich Dictionary in a magazine media called The Times Literary Supplement. He said that the illustrations of medical books for women written in the Middle Ages, the illustrations of medical books written in the ancient Greek era, and the illustrations in the Voynich Dictionary are similar. However, the reaction from researchers and experts in the world's Voynich Dictionary to this article was quite cold. German scientist von Krauss, who specializes in cryptography of IT data, said that the assassination of President Kennedy and the Voynich Dictionary had been solved many times by enthusiasts and researchers. In the end, the announcement of this deciphering success was a great success in deciphering the Voynich Dictionary from the TLS, which has authority and track record. It was widely reported that the content was a medical book introducing medical methods, but in fact, it was just one theory of deciphering. By the way, it was also announced in May 2019 that it was not a cryptography, but a novel, and that it had been deciphered in a huge Japanese newspaper. But there is one thing you and I found out this time. After all, I don't know anything. What is this Voynich Dictionary? How was it? There are many mysteries and ruins in the world, but the Voynich Dictionary is one of the mysteries that many people around the world are trying to solve. Will this mystery really be solved someday in the endless research of humans? You may be the one to solve this mystery. Did you find the answer you were looking for?
