A study claims to have revealed in what language and what the world's most mysterious text says

The discussion lasted for years. While some said it was a medieval medical textbook written in Latin, others claimed that it had been written by an Italian doctor in Hebrew. A small group also felt that he had a poetic style in Turkish. Nobody agreed. But now, a Bristol University researcher has said that He found the answer about the "most mysterious text in the world".

It is about Manuscript Voynich, a striking 15th century document, which is under the protection of Yale University. The only thing that suits everyone is the large number of riddles that lie between the lines.

According to a study by British academic Gerard Cheshire, this is a type of therapeutic reference book, which might look like a vademecum. In his article, published by the magazine Romance studies, said that it would be written in a lost language known as proto-romance.

The researcher explained that this document "is a collection of information on medicinal plants, therapeutic baths and astrological readings", which focused on the physical and mental health of women, reproduction and the education of children.

For Cheshire, the text is not written in code, but it is the only proto-novel material that has survived all this time. And he explained that he had managed to solve the mystery in just two weeks "using a combination of lateral thinking and ingenuity".

However, the discovery of this academic was not celebrated by all his colleagues. "I'm sorry, my friends, proto-romance does not exist," said Lisa Fagin Davis, executive director of the US Medieval Academy. "These are just circular nonsense and self-fulfilling with aspirations," he added on his Twitter.

Kate Wiles, linguist and editor of the magazine, was another skeptical specialist. History today. For her, There is a new theory on the meaning of the manuscript "every six months". "Up until this year, there have been at least two," he said. "(Cheshire) It takes liberties as to how languages ​​understand us, work," he said. "It raises the existence of a language built with words taken from many places and times, but as a whole, does not create something convincing as a workable language"He stressed.

In view of the commotion caused in the academic field, the British researcher has not lost his optimism and said that his work had been examined by other specialists in the field. "It's not necessary to convince anyone," he finished.
