Cypher and the Cipher Manuscript

The article delves into the use of Neo4j's link prediction feature to explore potential previous owners of the enigmatic Voynich Manuscript, focusing particularly on Hartmann Schedel, a German physician and historian. The manuscript, dating back to the 15th century, has long puzzled scholars and remains undeciphered despite numerous attempts using various analytical techniques. The author outlines a method using Neo4j to predict ownership links by training a graph-based machine learning model, leveraging historical data from the Mapping Manuscript Migrations database. While the model predicts several potential owners, the article emphasizes that these results are speculative, highlighting Hartmann Schedel as a plausible but unverified candidate due to his interests and connections in alchemy, mysticism, and extensive manuscript collection. Through this exploration, the article showcases the potential of graph data science tools in historical research, while also noting the limitations and speculative nature of the findings.
