A 360-Page Book That No One’s Ever Been Able to Read Is Coming Back Into Print

(What the article doesn't say, but should, is that the Codex Seraphinianus, like the book that is making Daffyd's life so interesting, was clearly inspired by the Voynich manuscript.)

Speaking of the Voynich manuscript:

Voynich Manuscript partially decoded, text is not a hoax, scholar finds
http://www.medievalists.net/2014/02/20/voynich-manuscript-partially-decoded-text-hoax-scholar-finds/

This linguist didn't get much, just a few words, but enough to verify that the manuscript appears to be genuine.

Professor Bax explains, “I hit on the idea of identifying proper names in the text, following historic approaches which successfully deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphs and other mystery scripts, and I then used those names to work out part of the script.

“The manuscript has a lot of illustrations of stars and plants. I was able to identify some of these, with their names, by looking at mediaeval herbal manuscripts in Arabic and other languages, and I then made a start on a decoding, with some exciting results.”

The story does not indicate whether or not any women in the vicinity of the University of Bedfordshire have begun behaving peculiarly.
