Codex Mondragonis

About us

The research and who signs it

Codex Mondragonis gathers work on the Voynich Manuscript carried out with a simple principle: every claim must be compared with chance, and a result that does not beat it does not count. The tools are reproducible and the data published, open to anyone who wants to check them.

Diego «DMUX» De Maio

Research, imaging, code

Built the analysis pipeline, the statistical validator and the archive of processed scans.

Simona «51m0» Fenoglio

Research, philology, method

Handles the historical framing, the discipline of the method and the critique of published solutions.


The pact with the reader

  • Rigor with a baseline. Every hypothesis and every match are always compared with a random control. It is the ethical heart of the project.
  • Honesty of the message. We always separate what is measured from what is a hypothesis. We do not use the word 'deciphered': we speak of identified origin, interpreted structure, reconstructed lexicon.
  • EVA only as notation. Never as a reading of the text.
  • Respect for copyright. Third-party works are catalogued, not reproduced. The scans are Yale's, for consultation. The letter translations are original.
