Multispectral Imaging and the Voynich Manuscript

Everything about this manuscript is so mysterious, the origins, the language, the plants and other drawings; still not mysterious enough that you would that it would be impossible to find a solution to all of this, I can understand the passion some researchers have for this manuscript, is there anything close to the Voynich manuscript?

There are a bunch of ancient languages that no one can read yet like Linear A or Cretan and the different documents we have written in them. That represents a whole society whose writing we can't read though, not a (as far as we can tell) one off item.

There's some interesting examples in the "See Also" section on Wikipedia, e.g. the Rohonc Codex

I read about the Rohonc Codex and it seems that most people agree that it's a hoax, the language itself doesn't seem to share the statistical property of a real language it seems, Rohonc Codex is the level of sophistication that I would expect from a hoax, the Voynich manuscript is much more than that.
