Their conclusion was that in 90% of cases, the Voynich systems are similar to those of other known books such as the Bible, indicating that the book is an actual piece of text in an actual language, and not well-planned gibberish. The "voynix", biomechanical creatures from an alternate future which transition from servitors to opponents in Dan Simmons' paired novels Ilium/Olympos, are named in reference to the manuscript. His work was criticized as patching together already-existing scholarship with a highly speculative and incorrect translation; Lisa Fagin Davis, director of the Medieval Academy of America, stated that Gibbs' decipherment "doesn't result in Latin that makes sense.
