But I figured it might be interesting to this group.

Note: this appears on this calendar on November 22 but there is no class that day due to the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday on campus.

Secret Code, Lost Language, Nonsense, or Hoax: The Voynich Manuscript's Enduring Mysteries

Oct 18, 4:30–6 PM
Onsite: Newhouse Lounge
Online: Zoom

Free and open to the public

Per the event page:

"The Voynich Manuscript (Beinecke Library MS 408) has been called The World's Most Mysterious Manuscript, and for good reason. Written entirely in an otherwise-unattested set of symbols and illustrated with unidentifiable plants, uninterpretable astrological diagrams, and astonishing biological drawings, the Voynich Manuscript (named for bookdealer Wilfrid Voynich) has intrigued, mystified, and frustrated linguists and cryptologists worldwide for centuries. Is it a code? A lost language? Does it have meaning at all? Or is it a hoax perpetrated on the world by a fifteenth-century prankster or modern forger? What do we know, and what do we have yet to learn? In this lecture, Dr. Lisa Fagin Davis, one of the foremost experts on the manuscript, will describe the manuscript's history, walk through its contents, and explain current theories and research methodologies.

Lisa Fagin Davis received her PhD in Medieval Studies from Yale University in 1993 and has catalogued medieval manuscript collections at Wellesley, Tufts, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, the Walters Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Boston Public Library, and several private collections. She has taught Latin Paleography at Yale University and Rare Book School (Charlottesville) and regularly teaches an introduction to Manuscript Studies at the Simmons University School of Library and Information Science. She was elected to the Comité international de paléographie latine in 2019 and has served as Executive Director of the Medieval Academy of America since 2013."
