The piece of work is an artistic, scientific copy of the original, manually trimmed and finished with a scalpel. Natural binding made of natural calf parchment. Cards made of pergamenata perfectly imitating parchment. The piece of work is an extremely demanding project, to which the publisher devoted a lot of work so that the final book in structure, color, smell and touch fully reflects the appearance of the original. The copy is undoubtedly a true work of art and a testament to the extraordinary craftsmanship of the artists and specialists involved in its creation.
At first glance, the manuscript resembles a herbarium or medicine manual, but for over 100 years the best cryptologists in the world have not been able to decipher its contents. The author of the manuscript is also unknown, and all historical references leave more questions than answers.
The Voynich manuscript is 120 pages of the format 15 by 22.5 centimeters on thin calfskin parchment (originally there were 272) covered with incomprehensible letters and decorated with drawings of plants, signs of the zodiac and bathing women. It owes its name to Michał Wojnicz, a Polish antiquarian, chemist and pharmacist, who in 1912 acquired a manuscript from the Jesuits from the Mondragone villa in Frascati.
