Experts determine age of book 'nobody can read'
February 10, 2011 By Daniel Stolte
The Voynich manuscript's unintelligible writings and strange
illustrations have defied every attempt at understanding their
meaning.
(PhysOrg.com) -- While enthusiasts across the world pored over the
Voynich manuscript, one of the most mysterious writings ever found –
penned by an unknown author in a language no one understands – a
research team at the UA solved one of its biggest mysteries: When was
the book made?

University of Arizona researchers have cracked one of the puzzles
surrounding what has been called "the world's most mysterious
manuscript" – the Voynich manuscript, a book filled with drawings and
writings nobody has been able to make sense of to this day.
Using radiocarbon dating, a team led by Greg Hodgins in the UA's
department of physics has found the manuscript's parchment pages date
back to the early 15th century, making the book a century older than
scholars had previously thought.
