The Voynich Manuscript is the most mysterious manuscript in the world. This apparent cipher text appears to be a guide to otherworldly herbal, cosmological and even gynecology lore. And, despite centuries of expert analysis it remains undeciphered. What explains the strange language and script the Voynich is composed in? Is it language foreign to the world of the manuscript's 15th century composition, an artificial language to hide its secrets, obscured in an elaborate form of encryption or a shocking late-medieval hoax. In this episode I argue that recent statistical, informational and cryptological analysis is increasingly pointing in the direction of the hoax hypothesis.
