The Voynich Manuscript is the world's most famous mysterious book (After The DaVinci Code written by Dan Brown, of course.) A medieval ciphertext bought by antiquarian bookseller Wilfred Voynoch in 1912 is written in an undecipherable language and is filled with 102 illustrated parchment folios. The book is composed of large botanical illustrations and text that have stunned scholars for centuries by being visually captivating and written in a secret language.
It now resides in Yale University's rare book collection.
I am excited to say I own my very own version of the famous manuscript, as I made a rendition of the text. I replicated it in places where visually, it would make the most sense and could be able to be read on stage as the Voynich manuscript. I introduce to you: The Kotsibie Manuscript (patent name pending)
Each Page was hand-painted with a mix of watercolour and gouache paints in earthy reds, blues, ochre, and greens. They were then stamped with generic text so from afar it looked like paragraphs of hand-written work.
