Spanish Publisher Acquires Rights to Rare Manuscript

By Dianna Dilworth 

Siloe, a small publishing company in Spain, has gotten permission to print a rare work called the Voynich manuscript which no scholar has yet to translate.

The publisher will be able to reproduce the document, which features beautiful drawings of plants and women, along with an unreadable text. The only known copy of the book is  in a vault at Yale’s Beinecke Library. The Guardian has the scoop:

Siloe, which specialises in making facsimiles of old manuscripts, has bought the rights to make 898 exact replicas of the Voynich – so faithful that every stain, hole, sewn-up tear in the parchment will be reproduced.
