The best resource on the Voynich Manuscript is voynich.nu, built by RenΓ© Zandbergen and kept up for more than twenty years.

It covers the manuscript's history, its illustrations, the script, every major decipherment attempt, and the transliterations researchers use. The page-by-page text in our reader comes from there. There is even a research conference: the Voynich MS Conference 2026 at the University of Malta.

VoynichLabs is not affiliated with voynich.nu or its author. We just think it is a wonderful resource and encourage everyone to explore it.
