"For people who like a good historical mystery, this first authorized publication of the fifteenth- or sixteenth-century Voynich Manuscript will fascinate."--Rebecca Onion, Slate

"The Voynich MS has inspired generations of enthusiasts dedicated to deciphering it . . . This beautiful facsimile will make it available for many more people to become enticed and entranced by it."--David V. Barrett, Fortean Times

"All told, the new edition should continue to stoke interest in the eternally mysterious artifact."--New Criterion

Many call the fifteenth-century codex, commonly known as the "Voynich Manuscript," the world's most mysterious book. Written in an unknown script by an unknown author, the manuscript has no clearer purpose now than when it was rediscovered in 1912 by rare books dealer Wilfrid Voynich. The manuscript appears and disappears throughout history, from the library of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II to a secret sale of books in 1903 by the Society of Jesus in Rome. The book's language has eluded decipherment, and its elaborate illustrations remain as baffling as they are beautiful. For the first time, this facsimile, complete with elaborate folding sections, allows readers to explore this enigma in all its stunning detail, from its one-of-a-kind "Voynichese" text to its illustrations of otherworldly plants, unfamiliar constellations, and naked women swimming though fantastical tubes and green baths.

The essays that accompany the manuscript explain what we have learned about this work--from alchemical, cryptographic, forensic, and historical perspectives--but they provide few definitive answers. Instead, as New York Times best-selling author Deborah Harkness says in her introduction, the book "invites the reader to join us at the heart of the mystery."

Cute and comfortable!
Size: 6.5, Color: Chestnut
These are cute and surprisingly comfortable! My arches feel supported and the soles don’t feel as block-like as other platform style sandals! Things to note: The footbed liner is not made of suede and is a little slippery. It’s like a neoprene liner which was unexpected for an Ugg shoe. Also, I only intend to wear these sandals as slides (a la Birkenstocks) so the “adjustable” Velcro strap over the top part of the foot seems useless. It doesn’t snug the top down at all, functionally speaking it is only to wear around the back of the ankle. Maybe this matters to someone thinking they could tighten the top down a bit. The ankle strap is comfortable but could be a bit longer. Overall they are a cute option to the platform Birks that are very uncomfortable imo. Love the options to order half sizes. I’m usually a 6 in Ugg boots but ordered my regular shoe size 6.5 and they fit well. My heel would be at the very end of my sandal if I sized down. True to size. Keeping and will order in another color!

More comfortable than flats!
Size: 8.5, Color: Bay Fog
I love these sandals! They run true to size, and they’re sooo comfortable. I was worried about getting fakes, but these were the real deal. The color is lovely (light purple). The foot bed can get dirty, but I find them to wash up nicely (by hand, not machine). I have purchased two more colors since! So much better than flats!

Comfy dual-mode sandals
Cute, quite comfy to walk in and love the support of the heel strap! It is not as comfy if using in slipper mode because the straps don’t keep your foot tight enough. I am usually a 8.5 but it runs slightly small so I switched up to a 9.
