The manuscript is named after Wilfrid Voynich, a Polish book dealer who purchased it in 1912. The text was clearly written from left to right. The overall impression given by the surviving leaves of the manuscript is that it was meant to serve as a pharmacopoeia or to address topics in medieval or early modern medicine.
