Since its rediscovery in 1912, experts have been trying to decode the Voynich manuscript,

a 600-year-old text written in an unknown language and featuring cryptic illustrations of everything from stars and planets to plants and naked women. Now, researchers believe they may have decoded one section of this elusive text. After examining the Rosettes, the manuscript's largest illustration, and comparing it to gynecology and sexology texts from the time the manuscript was made, researchers concluded that the illustration may contain coded information about women's sexuality. Many medieval writers were conservative in their views of women's sexuality and self-censored their work to keep knowledge of "women's secrets" from reaching sex workers, children, and common folk, fearing that such knowledge would encourage extramarital sex.
