The Real Voynich Manuscript
We will not risk another frontal assault that rabbit is Dynamite.
There are lots of pages on the manuscript online. Such as: http://www.voynich.nu/
I am not familiar with it, but I imagine that there are a lot of old manuscripts floating around.
It does not really make it some secret document.

Well, its sort of secret in that no one can understand it. The last I had heard about the Voynich, some linguist had done some sort of analysis and declared it was a hoax. They theorized that someone had made it up to sell to some noble who was notoriously easy to dupe with this sort of thing.
However, personally, I wouldn't write if off just because some guy says its fake.
The page that they show on that site is sort of interesting. With the 12 sections around the sun-like figure, it seems likely the 12 words would correspond to months or zodiac symbols.
