The Voynich Manuscript is written in an unknown script that has not been deciphered or identified by scholars. The text, along with its illustrations, remains a mystery and has baffled researchers for centuries.
Wilfred Michael Voynich did not write the Voynich Manuscript, as it is an anonymous illustrated codex from the early 15th century. Voynich was a book dealer who acquired the manuscript in 1912, hence the name.

Yes, they are: though one might reasonably argue that more effort these days is spent on cracking the Voynich Manuscript's history than on cracking its code/cipher system. All the same, it remains just as much an historical mystery as a cryptological mystery: ultimately, it seems likely that a focused combination of (a) sustained historical research, (b) assiduous statistical analysis, and (c) exceptionally lateral thinking will be required to decipher any part of its encrypted text.

If the Voynich Manuscript is (as now seems most likely) a genuine ciphertext dating to the first half of the 15th century, it is most probably an enciphered book of secrets i.e. it contains herbal, medical, astronomical/astrological, balneological, and engineering (mechanical) secrets. Conversely, it is probably not a book of alchemy, necromancy, or heresy.It would be nice to be able to say more with any certainty, but that's about as far as it goes for the moment, sorry!
