This is a list of known persons with a direct or claimed connection to what is now known as the Voynich Manuscript. By its nature it is likely to be incomplete: other persons would include some of the readers of manuscripts at the Villa Mondragone, people Wilfrid Voynich showed it to in an attempt to decipher it, and those people Hans Peter Kraus attempted to sell it to.
The lists are in alphabetical order for convenience.
