Plants of the Voynich Manuscript 1v thru 10v

The Voynich Manuscript is a mysterious book, dubbed “the book that can’t be read” because of the cryptic and unidentified language it’s written in. All that’s really known about it is that it’s 600 years old, written with gall-ink and once belonged to the court of Rudolph II. The overall impression is that it’s an old pharmacopeia and during that time people were just starting to learn practical medicine, although some are convinced it’s a book of witchcraft or a cypher with forbidden knowledge. It’s defied all attempts of interpretation. My older series #1 – #18 is my personal attempt at understanding the language, which I got much further than I ever expected. Here is the first of a new series I’m doing to show that the plants in the book can be matched to something in real life.
