The Friar and the Cipher: Roger Bacon and
the Unsolved Mystery of the Most Unusual Manuscript in the World 

By
Lawrence Goldstone, Nancy Goldstone

Published by Doubleday in 2005-Epub 


Description

A compulsively readable account of the most mysterious
manuscript in the world, one that has stumped the world’s greatest scholars and
codebreakers.

The Voynich Manuscript, a mysterious tome discovered in 1912 by
the English book dealer Wilfrid Michael Voynich, has puzzled scholars for a century. A small six inches by nine inches,
but over two hundred pages long, with odd illustrations of plants, astrological diagrams, and naked women, it is written
in so indecipherable a language and contains so complicated a code that mathematicians, book collectors, linguists, and
historians alike have yet to solve the mysteries contained within. However, in The Friar and the Cipher, the acclaimed
bibliophiles and historians Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone describe, in fascinating detail, the theory that Roger Bacon,
the noted thirteenth-century, pre-Copernican astronomer, was its author and that the perplexing alphabet was written in
his hand. Along the way, they explain the many proposed solutions that scholars have put forth and the myriad attempts
at labeling the manuscript's content, from Latin or Greek shorthand to Arabic numerals
to ancient Ukrainian to a recipe for the elixir of life to good old-fashioned gibberish. As we journey across centuries,
languages, and countries, we meet a cast of impassioned characters and case-crackers, including, of course, Bacon, whose
own personal scientific contributions, Voynich author or not, were literally and figuratively astronomical.

The Friar and the Cipher is a wonderfully entertaining and historically wide-ranging book that is one part The Code
Book, one part Possession, and one part The Da Vinci Code—and will appeal to bibliophiles and laypeople alike.
