Spanish publisher to release copies of Voynich Manuscript, a book no living person can understand

[size=48]Spanish publisher to release copies of Voynich Manuscript, a book no living person can understand[/size]
Within the manuscript’s 240 pages are vibrant sketches, including over a hundred unknown plant species, mysterious astral charts and drawings of nude women. The women in the ancient book are odd, evoking a crude H.R. Giger, except for the fact that the images predate the Swiss surrealist’s paintings by centuries. In the words of Yale’s Beinecke Library, which seldom displays the manuscript from a vault in its collection, the women have “swelled abdomens” and are “immersed or wading in fluids and oddly interacting with interconnecting tubes and capsules.”
Stranger still, the swirls of script filling the pages of the book — known as the Voynich Manuscript — are as inscrutable as the slime trails left by a garden slug. Yale University calls it a scientific or magical text, circa 1401 to 1599 (although that range is appended with a question mark), and believes the script is a cipher based on Roman letters.
Those familiar with the manuscript say it should come with a warning. “The Voynich Manuscript has led some of the smartest people down rabbit holes for centuries,” Folger Shakespeare Library exhibit curator Bill Sherman told The Washington Post in 2014. He was about to open a new exhibit featuring the book: “I think we need a little disclaimer form you need to sign before you look at the manuscript, that says, ‘Do not blame us if you go crazy.’ ”

If manuscripts that come with cheeky insanity warnings are your cup of tea, a select few of you are in luck. A small Spanish publisher has obtained the rights to, in essence, clone the document, down to the holes in the parchment and tears on the pages. (If you prefer your unreadable tomes digitized, Yale has made pages from the book available online.) Holding the manuscript, the publisher argues, provokes a feeling that images on the Internet cannot capture.
