Abstract:

Our conversation focuses on the Voynich Manuscript, or Yale University, Beinecke Rare Book
and Manuscript Library, MS 408. This famously arcane manuscript remains undeciphered, or
what Dr. Davis calls an "irresistible mystery." But with the help of the DigiPal resource, Dr. Davis
has been able to draw conclusions about the scribes involved, without needing to read the text.
We also discuss the future of medieval studies in the digital age, including the most exciting
tools available for scholarship and public engagement.
