That’s fascinating. I never heard of that book before.
You know what I thought of when I read that it hasn’t been able to be deciphered, is how the US employed Navajo’s during WWII to help with transmitting secret messages using a combination of Navajo language with coding techniques such as giving animal names to ships and locations.
So that even if the Japanese were able to translate the intercepted messages, they still wouldn’t give them any information.
Apparently, it worked very well as it never was cracked.

I’m still working on that question from The Monotones: Who wrote the book of love?
The Moona Lisa?

Nothing like a group of Christians discussing Christianity to make you not like either.

Too true too often.
Sigh.
LOL
As I was reading the description my mind flashed to paranoid schizophrenic of high intelligence, or perhaps someone who was a twin. Some twins have been known to develop a secret language between themselves.
Note my Comment #71 wherein I comment that twins sometimes develop a secret language known only to themselves. So now I suggest paranoid alchemist twins who have developed a secret language in which to conduct their forbidden studies.
Pff...yeah, so did I.
I usually ignore the religion threads.... Until they get really long. Then I click on the last post to see what the fight’s about.
Probably just some monk who got a heavy dose of ergot in his rye bread. No more meaning to it than the doodles of someone high on LSD.
4x6 is almost 25.4... but I'm with you!
Having observed many of the drawings and especially those in 1 above, I am able to state with fairly reliable certainty that the book is a landscape architect’s presentation and perhaps manual for the layout and planting of the formal gardens of the castle.
Looks like a Martha Stewart jail time scrapbook.
Now you've done it. KMart will carry a Voynich Collection by Martha Stewart.
