For over 100 years, the Voynich Manuscript’s code was unbreakable. Now, it has been cracked, revealing a manifesto of the Cathar religion, a heretical sect brutally attacked during the Middle Ages. Written in Arabic to hide their faith from the Inquisition, this is it.
The Voynich Manuscript has been the subject of intense interest for over 100 years. Written in strange symbols, dozens and dozens of scholars have tried to break the strange code and translate the bizarre characters into a known language – but to no avail.
Finally, one of the authors of this book has cracked the strange code and found that the codex is a manifesto of the Cathar religion. The Cathars, a sect of heretics in southern France during the Middle Ages, were brutally attacked by forces of the king of France and the Pope and faced vicious genocide.
The author found that the manuscript was written in bizarre characters, and in Arabic, to hide the sect’s heretical faith from the Inquisition. This book features long excerpts from the fifteenth century Voynich Manuscript translated by a specialist in medieval Arabic.
Up to this time there have been essentially no cotemporary documents found detailing the theology and the religious practices of the Cathars. Now for the first time we can finally read the story of the brave Cathar people and their unique religion in a near contemporary document.
