Hi Yuri
There was an interesting programme about the Voynich manuscript
which is supposed to be a forgery as it is written in cipher but not
decoded.
It was discovered by a Voynich who was a book dealer but it may have
been forged to raise money for Russians revolutionaries.
It also said that the spy Reilly and or Voynich used to go to the British
Museum
to study old inks and as Voynich could get old unused vellum and that
might have to do with the Vinland Map
