There is a strange text, written in a secret code, hundreds of years ago... That nobody's yet been able to crack!
It's called the Voynich manuscript. The evidence is that it was written in the early 15th century.

You can read more about it on Wikipedia...

One interesting new development is - a publisher in Spain is going to publish it!
They're only going to print 898 copies... At $8,000 each!
Some cashed-up fan of secret codes might buy one of these (hoping they'll be the one to crack the code)...
It could be profitable for the publisher!
You can see a variety of pages for free online here...

I thought it was an interesting - and unusual - business, publishing an old book written in a secret code that nobody's cracked yet!
There's more information about it here...

There could be an opportunity for others to also publish the same manuscript. Or an enterprising person could publish other, old works that are also equally as mystical and mysterious...
Best wishes,
Dien
