VOICED : Editorial espanola reproduce el libro mas misterioso del mundo

The Voynich Manuscript, a five-century-old enigma, remains undeciphered by top cryptographers. Its mysterious language and unidentified plant illustrations have sparked theories ranging from eternal youth secrets to herbal medicine compendiums. Speculated authors include Roger Bacon and Leonardo da Vinci. A Spanish publisher, Siloe, obtained rights to reproduce the manuscript, facing challenges like damaged parchment and loose folios. Their meticulous process involves photography, prepress work, and artisanal aging treatments. The manuscript, housed at Yale University, is rarely displayed. Reproductions help preserve the original, serve exhibitions, and provide disaster recovery. Siloe uniquely produces 898 palindrome-numbered copies, with each costing $8,000-$9,000, and 300 preordered.
