a look at what we've got store for you today. book of mysteries we take a look at the critics boy meets matter you spread. your wings and a motivation architect to pay tax some for reveals what inspires him. in sicilia and so during a tour around the town hall in southern italy. the voyage manuscript is one of the most mysterious books in the world now it's around six hundred years old and consists of two hundred pages written in secret code even to this day no one has been able to get to the bottom of what is written on those pages but one man in spain has made it his mission to finally solve this age old riddle. thank you. dive into the past with 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 this time being 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 i just know there are a lot of people in the world who are currently studying the wanted manuscript. in this the moment. scientists have determined that the manuscript dates from the fifteenth century that's a period of time that has always especially fascinated one plus

a car c.-a he's always searching for rare historic books as was the book dealer with trade voyage who discovered the manuscript in one thousand nine hundred twelve in the library of a jesuit order in italy he was able to buy it but not to decipher it. and i thought that it was live of the script in the many books written in the middle ages or the early renaissance there's the author's fear of running afoul of the authorities and that's why the folks are partially written in a secret code. that's why some people suspect that the voynich manuscript says must be as well for those who don't leave this those at the same time it exhibits so many peculiarities that don't confirm that theory as the. historical books are the specialty of the small spanish couple. company's ceiling for two years some twenty specialists have been working on a facsimile edition of the voyage manuscript the original is owned by yale

university in the united states one jose garcia who was a for longer just hopes his copy will be as authentic as possible some of the holes were repaired with thread and caught on thread and some of the holes were repaired with parchment thread this is very difficult to reproduce but there repairs some of them have lost the thread and the small of the small holes are made in the same place as the book. these are plants that never existed in nature painted on the finest parchment old handiwork like this is a real treasure. the publishing house wants to sell the facsimile edition for some eight thousand euros a piece the print run is limited to eight hundred ninety eight and three hundred

orders have already been placed. above the it's possibly a treatise about a medicine pharmacy or maybe about chemistry. or it is about astrology and astronomy when the book when you touch the original it awakens so many emotions and questions you want to know who touched it who could have made something like this how many people were involved in many. of the thing but the author of the manuscript appears to have taken the answers to those questions to his grave with him possibly along with knowledge about the healing powers of plants or the synergy of the stars unless of course someone manages to crack the books code. i think that with this facsimile which is very close to their original. we can make 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 must say 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 drones one that express. her voice convinced the jury of the seventeenth international singing contest noirish demon or new voices. carrying mezzo soprano starting a story on nova and the base. from south korea won first prize and you're just
