ep. 021: Artist Exploration/The Voynich Manuscript

This month instead of studying an artist, we’re studying a mystery (spoooooky). If you haven’t heard of the Voynich Manuscript, you’re in for a real treat. This 600 year old work of art is written in an unknown language, containing unknown plants, mechanisms, charts, and mixtures.

If something contains nothing that is known, how is it NOT a hoax?

Great question. Maybe it is, but despite all the secrets contained in this codex, the experts still have enough facts surrounding it that make it likely being something real and even communal.

Listen in today to learn about its provenance, the mysteries, the facts, and hear about Amy and Chris’s favorite hypotheses. What’s yours?

Amy Elizabeth is an artist and film photographer living in Minneapolis, MN. She runs the group The Art Lab for creatives who want to connect and push forward in their artistry. She is also the owner/operator of Film Lab 135, a bespoke lab dedicated to processing experimental film, and specializing in film soup. You can find her on Instagram, substack, and bluesky @itsamyliz.
