A propos de ce titre

Revue de presse:

'This brilliant, page-turning story makes 'The Da Vinci Code' seem like a slightly lame round of Hangman... Kennedy and Churchill's style is certainly very accessible... this will surely give the Voynich Manuscript an audience beyond cryptologists and internet conspiracy theorists, and that is an important achievement.' (Scarlett Thomas INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY )

'This book is not, as one might have feared, the bearer of another wacky hypothesis; rather it is a fair-minded, lucid and enjoyably written guide to the various theories.' (Blair Worden SUNDAY TELEGRAPH )

'Gerry Kennedy and Rob Churchull conduct the reader with straight faces and fair minds, and... an admirable amount of relevant detail, and a more admirable absense of the "My Quest" local colour which has disfigured literary investigations since Corvo.' (TIME LITERARY SUPPLEMENT )

'There's nothing like a good mystery, and here's one that's as impenetrable now as it was when the world first encountered it nearly a hundred years ago... Their [Kennedy & Churchill] exhaustive research... helps readers to make their own guesses.****' (WESTERN DAILY PRESS )

'They [the authors] are fair-minded and inclusive about the ideas of others, and include a final section in which different experts give their ideas... [a] fascinating introduction to the mystery.' (THE TIMES OF ACADANIA (US) )

'A facinating paper chase across time and space... [The authors] convey well the eerie draw of the book in a meditation onf the power words have to enlighten or confound.' (NOTTINGHAM EVENING POST )

'a fair-minded, lucid and enjoyably written guide to the various theories.' (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH )

'This brilliant, page-turning story makes 'The Da Vinci Code' seem like a slightly lame round of Hangman' (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY ) --Various UK Newspapers
