Record summary
The Rohonc Codex is an illustrated manuscript written in an unidentified script and donated to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in the nineteenth century. Its pages include images that have been interpreted as Christian, military or other religious scenes, but proposed decipherments have not achieved broad scholarly acceptance. Debate concerns whether it is an encrypted or unknown historical text, a highly unusual manuscript, or a modern fabrication. It matters for comparison with other undeciphered European documents because physical analysis, provenance and statistical script study must precede claims about lost peoples or secret traditions.
