Throughout history, most linguists and historians have been able to decipher a lot of the texts they come across, but not this one. It still eludes scholars and leaves questions behind.

The manuscript is from the 15th century, handwritten, and filled with diagrams and notes. Many have theorized that the book is a codex of early medicine and natural practices, but most medical historians and botanists can’t even identify the plants and materials inscribed on the pages.

Because none of it makes sense, most believe that this is a medieval hoax, but why go through all the trouble of making a book like this by hand, if it’s not vitally important?
