ISBN:  9780300217230 0300217234 Description:  xvii, 240 unnumbered pages (some folded), 66 pages : color illustrations ; 31 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "The fifteenth-century work commonly known as the Voynich Manuscript is often called the world's most mysterious book. Written in an unknown script by an unknown author, the manuscript has no clearer purpose now than when it was rediscovered in 1912 by rare books dealer Wilfrid Voynich. The manuscript appears and disappears throughout history, from the library of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II to a secret sale of books in 1903 by the Society of Jesus in Rome. The book's language has eluded decipherment, and its elaborate illustrations remain as baffling as they are beautiful. For the first time, this facsimile, complete with reproductions of elaborate folding sections, allows readers to explore this enigma in all its stunning detail, from its one-of-a-kind 'Voynichese' text to its illustrations of otherworldly plants, unfamiliar constellations, and naked women swimming though fantastical tubes and green baths. The essays that accompany the manuscript explain what we have learned about this work--from alchemical, cryptographic, forensic, and historical perspectives--but they provide few definitive answers. Instead, as New York Times best-selling author Deborah Harkness says in her introduction, the book's essays 'invite the reader to join us at the heart of the mystery.'"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 091 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 091 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Oversize 091 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 091 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 091 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 091 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
