Summary

📘 Voynich Unveiled – How the Greatest Enigma of All Time May Have Been Solved.

The manuscript is finished and fully documented.
It contains the first verified, reproducible translation of the Voynich Manuscript (MS 408, Yale University) — a historical and linguistic achievement supported by extensive philological research, cross-referenced glossaries, and academic documentation.

This is not an AI-generated translation nor a speculative theory.
It is the result of a scientific linguistic methodology that confirms itself through internal consistency and reproducible results.
The project includes both the main narrative book (Voynich Unveiled) and the forthcoming Translation Edition (English / Japanese / Spanish).

Represent the project to major international publishing houses (English-, Spanish-, or Japanese-language markets).

Help coordinate communications for documentary, educational, or multimedia tie-ins.

We already have all materials ready for evaluation:
book proposal, synopsis, proofs, and supporting documentation.

💡 Ideal candidate:
A literary agent, publishing consultant, or commercial representative with experience introducing serious nonfiction projects to large or mid-sized publishers (e.g., Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Hachette, Kodansha, Kadokawa, Shogakukan, Planeta, or similar).

Deliverables & Compensation

Negotiable fee or percentage-based agreement (industry standard for rights representation).
We prefer a professional able to provide measurable outreach and reporting of submissions.
