In 1912, Wilfrid M. Voynich (a book collector) bought a medieval manuscript (235 pages) written in an unknown script and what appears to be an

unknown language or a cipher from the Jesuit College at the Villa Mondragone, Frascati, in Italy (near Rome). Apparently, Voynich wanted to

have the mysterious manuscript deciphered and provided photographic copies to a number of experts. However, despite the efforts of many well

known cryptologists and scholars, the book remains unread. There are some claims of decipherment, but to date, none of these can be

substantiated with a complete translation.
