The Translation of the Voynich Manuscript: The Compendium

Abstract

The following paper reveals that the Voynich Manuscript is a Medieval Latin celestial herbal book of hours to treat patients according to an individual's birth chart, humoral disposition, and illness. It describes that the Son of G-d provides treatments through garden plants' flowers and seeds. It contains two lists on the first folio: one for instructions and one to list the main sources of these treatments. Additionally, it mentions two important monastic tenants and Christian commandments of being stewards to the earth and its plants and animals. All plants are identified and originate from Ethiopia-Somaliland, Persia/Iran, India, China, the Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma/Myanmar), and other geographical areas of the Far East. The manuscript discusses Venus, the morning and evening star, as responsible for the division of the year and subsequently its role in creating cures. The Pleiades is responsible for the creation of elixirs. Electuaries are produced through four types of oils. Oils are associated with humors. It reveals the equatorial and ecliptics constellations and their plant associations. It names the plant section as the Curatorium and the constellation section as the Codex Constellarum Aster. It mentions the four humors recurrently. The manuscript was written around 1423 by a Swiss German sacristan monk named Clemens Specker, who traveled to the Himalayas, wherein he spent time studying the local plants and cataloging them to be used in medicinal curatives in northeastern Tibet. The healing systems referenced are: Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and Tibetan Sowa Rigpa.
