Abstract

This work, known as the “Voynich” manuscript, as it’s impossible to read it up to now, also it’s been impossible to identify its author’s name. For this reason, the manuscript is named after a man named Voynich, who claims to have found it in a castle in Italy in 1912 and has been busy for to sell ancient and valuable manuscripts and books. This manuscript has been studied for almost 100 years by various researchers, as well as by special groups established on the basis of individual research institutes and universities. But no one has yet been able to read or interpret on it in full or in part. Even, there is no definite decision or unanimous opinion about the language in which the manuscript was written. There are some assumptions and suppositions that this manuscript is in ancient Saxon, German, French and other European languages, as well as in Eastern languages ​​such as Arabic, Persian and Chinese. But so far it has not been possible to read and interpret the manuscript on the basis of these languages.

The reading of the text given in this article was made possible mainly by the alphabet compiled by the ATA group, and Mayil B.Asgarov made some additions and changes to this alphabet while reading the text.
