The Voynich Manuscript

This is a beautiful coffee table book. The essays are short (10-minute) reads, delving into how to investigate an unreadable medieval manuscript. The background on Voynich was new, and therefore particularly interesting, to me. All in all, I do recommend having a flick through this if you come across it.
If you're interested in medieval manuscripts (as a student or layperson), I definitely recommend picking this up and having a proper look. The reproduction of the MS is amazingly detailed, and is an excellent example of what a MS looks like, for those not fortunate enough to get near one in the flesh (pun completely unintended but I am still proud of it), especially if you've done some research into codicology and would like to see it in action.
