Voynich Manuscript

Discovered in 1912 by a book dealer, this rare manuscript remains an incredible mystery. No cryptographer has been able to decode it, as the book is basically illegible. The pages have been dated back to the early 15th century and contains about 116 pages, though many of them are missing. The author also remains unknown. The illustrations present in the book seem to divide it up into sections: astronomical, biological, cosmological, herbal, pharmaceutical, and possibly recipes. It seems likely the book was written to keep information secret, but what information was so important that it needed such indecipherable language to keep it secret? The reason for its secrecy, most people believe, is the books connection to alchemy. In recent years, there have been efforts to prove the book as a fraud.

One of the most memorable exhibitions I went in London 

On November 13, Ralph Rugoff stopped by Kadist SF and presented the recent exhibition Alternative Guide to the Universe, surveying “the work of self-taught artists and architects, fringe physicists and visionary inventors.” The evening featured a selection of works included in the exhibition by Bay Area artist William Scott, on loan from the Creative Growth Art Center.

In 1950, Sidney Wolfson asked Breuer to create a new building around the trailer that he had been using as a studio for four years. Breuer designed a wood-frame structure clad in vertical cypress which cantilevered over a smaller stone base.
