Krátky popis
An absorbing history of Europe’s nine most puzzling texts,
including the biggest mystery of all: the Voynich Manuscript
&,nbsp, Books can change the world. They can influence,
entertain, transport, and enlighten. But across the centuries,
authors have disguised their work with codes and ciphers, secret
scripts and magical signs. What made these authors decide to keep
their writings secret? What were they trying to hide? &,nbsp,
Garry J. Shaw tells the stories of nine puzzling European texts.
Shaw explores the unknown alphabet of the nun Hildegard of Bingen,
the enciphered manuscripts of the prank-loving physician Giovanni
Fontana, and the angel communications of the polymath John Dee.
Along the way, we discover how the pioneers of science and medicine
concealed their work, encounter demon magic and secret societies,
and delve into the intricate symbolism of alchemists searching for
the Philosopher’s Stone. &,nbsp, This highly enjoyable account
takes readers on a fascinating journey through Europe’s most
cryptic writings—and attempts to shed new light on the biggest
mystery of all: the Voynich Manuscript.
