What is "alphabet"? 
If you mean a set of used symbols then well... we have it.
If you mean a set of used symbols + rules how to speak them loud then we in fact don't have them.
And I believe OP meant symbols + rules.
By the way not every notation of language is alphabet. Chinese signs, Egyptian hieroglyphs or syllabaries are not alphabet.
And sets of signs used in ciphers may be called "alphabet" only coloquially.
Alphabet is simply speaking a type of writing where one symbol represents one sound.
So we don't even know if Voynich Manuscript uses alphabet, in precise meaning of that word.
