Did Codebreakers Crack This Mysterious Medieval Manuscript?

The Voynich Manuscript, a small unassuming book stored in a Yale University vault, is one of the most mysterious books in the world. The precious document containing elegant writing and strange drawings is believed to have been written six centuries ago in an unknown or coded language that has never been cracked. A pair of Canadian codebreakers may have deciphered a 600-year-old book that has been baffling cryptologists for centuries. In a study published in the journal Transactions of the Association of Computational Linguistics, computing scientists from the University of Alberta used an algorithm to try to decode parts of the Voynich Manuscript, a medieval book written in an undecipherable code with an unknown language. But other scholars are skeptical, and the manuscript remains a document very much shrouded in mystery.
