Although i have been interested in history, mystery and manuscripts for many years i found out about The Voynich Manuscript on Tribe.net (of all places!-). Most interesting from what i have untill now read about and i will most certainly delve deeper into this. Which brings me to my first question; is there a complete or nearly complete copy available. In print or on the internet?
To be honest i was pleasantly surprised to learn about such a thing as an undeciphered manuscript. At last! Everything is not lost! However another question comes as i think about it.
What makes it so mysterious/special apart from the fact that it is not deciphered as of yet? From where/whom comes the idea that it contains information that is interesting/valuable/dangerous or otherwise of interest to the human spieces?
Maybe someone can direct me to a website that goes into answering those question.
Thank you.

I've noticed that there are two new books available about it as well. Sorry if this has already been covered (I've been away from tribe for a long time, just getting back to reading) but has anyone read them? -

Although, I did download all the images off the Yale University site. That took some time. Whew!
