Fuck if we know. Might be a hoax. Might be some fuck being artsy. Might be secret code language. Might be magic. A lot of mights. The Voynich Manuscript is probably just gonna stay /x/ tier forever.

I don't imagine we can get much out of it here. Move along. Nothing to see.

Even the crappiest biology books attempted to capture life in drawings. These are just doodles of non-existent plants, coloured with the delicacy of a 6yo. If these were based off anything, you'd see veins in the plants and such complexities.

This is a fanfiction of life, why did I even bother to reply

It may be some kind of mock foreign manuscript created to impress someone with the exploits of a foreign land.

If it is a hoax, it's very elaborate, because the mock language is very complicated

It's an herbalist's record of what he's learned. He was illiterate so he made up his own language based on some letters he'd encountered in other languages.
