In 1912, Wilfrid Voynich, an antiquarian book dealer, stumbled upon a strange volume, its vellum pages covered in a beautiful but unrecognisable script accompanied by equally mystifying pictures. The codex has remained undeciphered to this day. Voynich believed the codex to be the work of medieval philosopher Roger Bacon; others thought it was by the Elizabethan mathematician and occultist John Dee. Whoever created the book—which now resides at Yale University—remains a singular enigma that continues to defy the best efforts of linguists, cryptologists, and scholars.
