Did AI Decode the Voynich Manuscript? Claims Tested

Has AI decoded the Voynich Manuscript?

The October 2026 Schwartz preprint (Case 4) tested the fixed-rule anagram stage of this method on held-out pages. Harvard physicist Matthew Schwartz posted a preprint, How the Voynich Manuscript was written, dated October 1, 2026. Another, a working paper titled “Voynich Manuscript Decoded,” was posted to Zenodo on October 22, 2026.

Key takeaways

  • Videos kept recycling it into October 2026.
  • A large October 2026 preprint found that none of the mechanical readings it tested work on held-out pages (Schwartz, not peer-reviewed).
  • The Linguistics of the Voynich Manuscript.
