Another dubious claim that someone has “decoded” the Voynich manuscript

The Voynich manuscript is a famous medieval text written in a mysterious language that so far has proven to be undecipherable. There are so many competing theories about what the Voynich manuscript is—most likely a compendium of herbal remedies and astrological readings, based on the bits reliably decoded thus far—and so many claims to have deciphered the text, that it’s practically its own subfield of medieval studies. I am not a medieval (Vulgar) Latin expert, so I can’t comment on the plausibility of individual words,” said Greg Kondrak, a natural language processing expert at the University of Alberta who has used AI to try and decode the Voynich manuscript.
