A Generative Grammar Underlying the Voynich Manuscript, the Pastiche Hypothesis: Evidence from Large Language Models
Leveraging generative models to decode the centuries-old mystery of the Voynich Manuscript's cryptic structure.
Background: The Voynich Manuscript is a fifteenth-century codex written in an unknown script whose content remains undeciphered. Previous studies suggest that its statistical properties resemble those of natural languages, while its illustrations - primarily plants - recall medie...

By applying large language models to the Voynich Manuscript, researchers are testing whether the text contains an underlying generative syntax or is simply a sophisticated linguistic mimicry. This approach demonstrates how AI can quantify historical anomalies to determine if a document is a product of true language or human-engineered complexity.
