The GB can read research material to (mis)use for their articles meant to
show the best evidence and reasoning supports their distinctive policies/rela-
tively distinctive policies distinctively taught. Followers shouldn't--it's

the voynich manuscript, described as "the world's most mysterious manuscript",is a work which dates to the early 15th century, possibly from northern italy.
it is named after the book dealer wilfrid voynich, who purchased it in 1912.. some pages are missing, but the current version comprises about 240 vellum pages, most with illustrations.
