    Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Ms 408 — popularly known as the "Voynich Manuscript" after the Polish-American antiquarian bookseller, Wilfrid M. Voynich, who acquired it in 1912. The manuscript's origins & purpose remain the subject of vigorous academic debate. Variously postulated to be a magical or scientific text, Beinecke MS 408 is written in an as yet undeciphered script, and contains puzzling botanical, figurative, & scientific drawings executed in a crude but lively style. Full-colour, high-quality digitized Mss : Parchment. ff. 102 (contemporary foliation, Arabic numerals; not every leaf foliated) + i (paper), including 5 double-folio, 3 triple-folio, 1 quadruple-folio & 1 sextuple-folio folding leaves. 225 x 160 mm. [Collation is difficult due to the number of fold-out leaves that are not always foliated consistently]. Ink w/ washes in shades of green, brown, yellow, blue, & red.
