"Unraveling the Erotic Enigma of the Voynich Manuscript"

TL;DR
The Voynich manuscript, a mysterious late-medieval document covered in illustrations of stars, planets, plants, and naked women, has long puzzled historians. In a recent article, researchers propose that the manuscript contains information about sex and conception, drawing on late-medieval gynaecology and sexology. They suggest that the largest illustration, the Rosettes, represents a late-medieval understanding of sex and conception, resolving many of the manuscript's contradictions. The proposal aligns with the patriarchal culture of the time and sheds light on the manuscript's enigmatic features, offering a new perspective for future research.
