The purpose of this Voynichese website is to elaborate on our theories about the Voynich manuscript, the most mysterious manuscript in the world. Despite several efforts, no one has yet succeeded to decipher its text, which has become the "Holy Grail" of cryptography.
But is this mysterious text truly indecipherable?
We believe we have discovered the strange method used by the mysterious author to encode this singular manuscript and it is our intention to prove it herein.
The Voynich manuscript was donated by the book dealer Hans Peter Kraus to Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library in 1969, where it is catalogued under call number MS 408. A digitized high-resolution copy is also accessible freely at their website :

On 16 October 2013, we published a book on the subject :
Le code du manuscrit Voynich enfin décrypté
Éditions Le Mercure Dauphinois, Grenoble, France.

The goal of this website is also to help disseminate the theory that I developed for the first time in this book.
This year was published the no. 4 of the Les Cahiers de l'ailleurs magazine, run by our friend Dominique Dubois, which describes how the publication of our book about the Voynich manuscript was one of the literary events of 2013 ( «La rubrique des évènements», p. 136).
The article by Rémi Boyer, « Le code du manuscrit Voynich enfin décrypté », Les Livres, pp. 119-120-121, which analyses the book in question, is also noteworthy.
In 2009, using radiocarbon C-14 dating, Dr. Greg Hodgins' team, from the University of Arizona (Department of Phyisics, Accelerator Mass Spectrometer Lab.), was able to estimate with 95% reliability that the manuscript was written between 1404 and 1438 (around 1420).

Experts also noted that folio 86v, known as the Rosettes page, or the cosmological section, contained a beautiful Ghibelline-style castle with merlons, which in the 15th century only existed in Northern Italy.

Therefore, it is thought that the author of the strange manuscript hails from that region.

However, our finding is that this is only a clue to tell us that the key to crack the code can be found precisely in a vegetable of Italian origins, broccoli, which we can see on folios 100r and 100v1.

If the Ghibelline-style castle with merlons directs us to Italy, then perhaps the key to decoding the manuscript is also an Italian vegetable !!!
Pliny the Elder, an Italian naturalist and writer, 23 to 79 CE, tells us the Romans grew and enjoyed broccoli during the first century. The vegetable became a standard favorite in Rome where the variety called Calabrese was developed.
Ancient Romans referred to broccoli as CYMA (or CVMA, CUMA) : "Ex omnibus brassicae generibus suavissima est cyma ", says Pliny.
Folio 100r contains a broccoli in the singular with a 4-character caption. Folio 100v1 contains first a broccoli in the singular, also with a 4-character caption, and then two broccoli, therefore in the plural, with a 5-character caption.
The only language in which the word meaning broccoli contains 4 letters in the singular and 5 letters in the plural is Latin : CYMA (or CVMA, CUMA) / CYMAE (or CVMAE, CUMAE) in the first declension :
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cyma#Latin
However, even if
(orol in E.V.A.) was cyma and
(dchdy in E.V.A.) likewise, why was the same word written with different characters?
in place of
, even if put in the same positions, etc.
As we will see, this is down to the Latin declensions :

https://www.ciphermysteries.com/2012/02/08/the-carrot-museum-takes-on-the-voynich-manuscript
As we can see, folio 101r contains a drawing of a carrot, which in Latin is called a CAROTA.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/carota#Latin
Again, the
termination in an odd + even position gives CV (A).
Furthermore, it is obvious that anas the first letter and an elsewhere is not always the letter C.
As such, Nick Pelling is absolutely correct when he criticises certain theories that attribute the letter C to the initial character ...

« So, even if 'otaldy' does genuinely encipher 'CAROTA' in some way, we can be pretty certain that 'o' does not simply encipher 'C', 't' does not simply encipher 'A' etc. »
O.K., it is not always the letter C, but this does not mean that at times it can't be...
Indeed, we will give other examples where the initial characteris not always the letter C, but rather other consonants and even vowels.
To sum up, the secret of Voynichese writing is in the holoalphabetic characters (when isolated), which then turn into holo-consonantal characters (when combined to form words). The characters that represent vowels are the only ones that we can definitively identify and mono-alphabetically replace them.
Therefore,
(otaldy in E.V.A.) is not always CAROTA; it could also be RAMOSA, etc.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ramosa#Latin
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ramosus#Latin
RAMOSA
1. Branching
2. Having many branches
Both CAROTA and RAMOSA have the same vowel construction. In other words, the two words have the same vowels in the same positions, between the consonants.
CVCVCV = _A_O_A can be written in Voynichese.
