a book that's one of the world's greatest unsolved mysteries. for more than two years one course a garcia from book us in northern spain has been studying the voyage manuscript thought to have been written some six hundred years ago its author reason known and the writing remains undecided furred the images sparked the imagination but no one's sure what they mean is that the coming down here of theories that the book might have been written in a kind of encoded latin. or that an alien rode while being held captive in a monastery. or that leonardo da vinci wrote it as a child. you know there are a lot of people in the world who are currently studying the voynich manuscript. in this the moment. scientists have determined that the manuscript dates from the

a contribution towards this manuscript perhaps one day being fully and printed them and. perhaps there are the secrets of the past page hidden in these pages wherever they may have come from one plus a garcia aims to have the facsimiles finished in november when he will present them to the public for the first time and that might just be the beginning of a new chapter in the story of the voyage manuscript thanks. moving on now to some surprise on the culture scene from the best new voices to the best new drone's one that expressed. her voice convinced the jury at the seventeenth international singing contest noirish demon or new voices. carrying mezzo soprano starting
