As a gift for the retired cryptographer, the student asked her craftsman friend to make a rug reminiscent of her teacher's favorite enigma. Seeing the finished craft, the student noticed that the rug represented the book's mold on the right. The craftsman, recognizing her astonished face, looked at the reference drawing on the table and before she could complain about the mistake, he said: " Maybe you have been reading it in the wrong direction" and laughed.

The next day the student disappeared, taking The Book of Voynich and leaving in its place the framed rug that still hangs on the library wall.
