伏尼契手稿是用自然语言写成的:巴列维假说
The Voynich Manuscript is Written in Natural Language: The Pahlavi Hypothesis
摘要:
中世纪晚期的伏尼契手稿(Voynich Mannipt,VM)拒绝解密,被认为是一个毫无意义的骗局或无法破解的密码。在这里,我们提供的证据表明,VM是写在自然语言建立伏尼契字母和伊朗巴列维脚本的关系。伏尼契的许多人物都是巴列维派人物的颠倒版本,这可能是不同写作方向的影响。其他伏尼契信件可以解释为连字或偏离巴列维的意图,以应付已知的问题,由于巨大的歧义巴列维文本。虽然这里没有尝试翻译《伏尼契·巴列维》文本,但我们可以通过抄写《伏尼契·巴列维》插图和部分主要文本中的许多单词来确认字符层面的伏尼契-巴列维关系。许多转录的单词可以被识别为来自琐罗亚斯德教宇宙学的术语,这与中世纪时期琐罗亚斯德教社区使用巴列维脚本一致。
英文摘要:
The late medieval Voynich Manuscript (VM) has resisted decryption and was considered a meaningless hoax or an unsolvable cipher. Here, we provide evidence that the VM is written in natural language by establishing a relation of the Voynich alphabet and the Iranian Pahlavi script. Many of the Voynich characters are upside-down versions of their Pahlavi counterparts, which may be an effect of different writing directions. Other Voynich letters can be explained as ligatures or departures from Pahlavi with the intent to cope with known problems due to the stupendous ambiguity of Pahlavi text. While a translation of the VM text is not attempted here, we can confirm the Voynich-Pahlavi relation at the character level by the transcription of many words from the VM illustrations and from parts of the main text. Many of the transcribed words can be identified as terms from Zoroastrian cosmology which is in line with the use of Pahlavi script in Zoroastrian communities from medieval times.
