If you haven’t yet been properly introduced to the enjoyable confusion surrounding the Voynich Manuscript, you might well enjoy this very brief New York Times article from 1999 by Michael Pollak, entitled “Can’t Read It? You Can Look at the Pictures“.
I particularly enjoyed the soundbite from William R. Bennett Jr., who nicely points out that ‘‘The manuscript itself seems to have the attraction of a poisonous flower“. And so we’re back to that whole Little Shop of Horrors thing again… oh well!
