It seems it may be a language, but the juries still out.

Mysterious Voynich manuscript has 'genuine message'

The Voynich manuscript has baffled the world for centuries, but a new study suggests it may contain a genuine message after all.

Keywords and Co-Occurrence Patterns in the Voynich Manuscript: An Information-Theoretic Analysis

The Voynich manuscript has remained so far as a mystery for linguists and cryptologists. While the text written on medieval parchment -using an unknown script system- shows basic statistical patterns that bear resemblance to those from real languages, there are features that suggested to some researches that the manuscript was a forgery intended as a hoax. Here we analyse the long-range structure of the manuscript using methods from information theory. We show that the Voynich manuscript presents a complex organization in the distribution of words that is compatible with those found in real language sequences. We are also able to extract some of the most significant semantic word-networks in the text. These results together with some previously known statistical features of the Voynich manuscript, give support to the presence of a genuine message inside the book.

Recent research may have extended the history of the Voynich manuscript's ownership back into the 16th century. Stefan Guzy of the University of the Arts, Bremen, has found a report possibly relating to the purchase of the manuscript by the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II in 1599, as part of collection of books sold by an Augsburg physician named Carl Widemann. He also suggests that Widemann may have inherited it from a well known botanist named Leonard Rauwolf.
