The '''Voynich manuscript''' is an illustrated codex hand-written in [[First Civilization]] writing, and a [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]].<ref name="ACRG">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>

Commonly, though erroneously, believed to have been written circa  1405, the artifact was previously in the possession of Emperor [[Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor|Rudolf II]] of the [[Holy Roman Empire]], though four of the manuscript's pages wound up in the hands of Governor [[Peter Beckford]] of [[Jamaica]] by the early 18th century. After they were taken from the Beckford estate, the pages were scattered across the [[Caribbean]], until they were eventually collected by the [[Piracy|pirate]]-turned-[[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Edward Kenway]] between 1715 and 1722.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

In the following decades, the Assassins and [[Templars]] alike learned of the connection between the manuscript and the mysterious [[Precursor box]], one of the only devices that could translate its incomprehensible text. In 1755, the inventor [[Benjamin Franklin]] was the first known human to properly use both pieces in tandem, electrifying the box with lightning. It was during this experiment that the Assassin [[Shay Cormac]] discovered the location of a hidden First Civilization [[Temples|vault]] hidden underneath the [[Carmo Convent]] in [[Lisbon]], [[Portugal]].<ref name="ACRG"/>

In 1839, the [[Mentor]] of the [[Indian Assassins]], [[Hamid (Amritsar)|Hamid]], tasked [[Arbaaz Mir]] with the recovery of a map from the Voynich manuscript detailing information on the [[Koh-i-Noor]] diamond, during their quest to protect the artifact from falling into the British Templars' hands.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brahman]]''</ref>

In 2013, Abstergo Industries warned memory research analysts at [[Abstergo Entertainment]], who were assigned to relive the memories of European subjects during the 15th and 16th centuries, to look out for the Voynich manuscript during their [[Animus]] sessions, especially for its supposed connection to the English philosopher [[Roger Bacon]].<ref name="AC4"/>

==Trivia==
*The manuscript is named after book dealer {{Wiki|Wilfrid Voynich}}, who purchased it in 1912.
*It is theorized that the Voynich manuscript may have been sold to Rudolf II by [[John Dee]]. Another theory suggests that the manuscript was written by [[Edward Kelley]], who could speak with members of the First Civilization through his [[Crystal Balls|Crystal Ball]].
*The map Arbaaz acquired features the Voynich manuscript pages Folio 70r and 75r, as well as drawings of the Koh-i-Noor, two [[Apples of Eden]], a [[Memory Seals|Memory Seal]] and symbols found on [[Marcus Junius Brutus]]' drawing of the [[Colosseum Vault]].
