Date & time (UTC/GMT):
June 11, 2020 5:00 PM
Description:

The Voynich manuscript has been studied by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including American and British codebreakers from both the First and Second World Wars. The manuscript has never been demonstrably deciphered, and the mystery of its meaning and origin has excited the popular imagination, making it the subject of novels and speculation. This presentations explores the possibility of the Voynich Manuscript being a forgery with no possibility for cryptologic decipherment. This follows the presentation "The Voynich Manuscript: The Book No One Can Read”, given by Klaus Schmeh, which is also included in the recording.
