Voynich manuscript

The Voynich manuscript is an illustrated codex hand-written in First Civilization writing, and a Piece of Eden.

Commonly believed to have been written around 1405, the artifact was previously in the possession of Emperor Rudolf II of the Holy Roman Empire, four of the manuscript's pages ended 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 inevitably collected by the pirate-turned-Assassin Edward Kenway between 1715 and 1722.

In 1839, the Mentor of the Indian Assassins, Hamid, tasked Arbaaz Mir with the recovery of a map detailing information on several First Civilization artifacts, including the Koh-i-Noor, two Apples of Eden and a Memory Seal. This map was partially made up of symbols and text found on two pages of the Voynich manuscript, Folio 70r and Folio 75r, tracing their nature back to the First Civilization.

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.

Trivia

• The manuscript is named after book dealer 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 Ball.
