Voynich - a provisional, partial decoding of the Voynich script
The fascinating Voynich manuscript has been described as the most mysterious manuscript in the world. The vellum on which it is written has been carbon dated to the 15th century. Unfortunately, since it was rediscovered in 1912 not a single word of it has been deciphered. Until now.

Professor Stephen Bax is Professor of Applied Linguistics at CRELLA, the University of Bedfordshire in the UK.
Professor Bax, who was recently awarded the 2014 TESOL International Distinguished Researcher Award for his work on eye-tracking and reading, will discuss this and other research at his inaugural professional lecture at the University’s Luton campus on Tuesday 25 February at 6pm.
