This research paper presents a forensic reconstruction of the generative device responsible for the Voynich Manuscript (MS 408). By moving beyond linguistic cryptanalysis and applying an engineering-based audit, we demonstrate that the text is not a natural language nor a standard cipher, but a "Lossy Compression" of 15th-century Apothecary Latin.

We propose and reconstruct the "Syntaxis Volvella": a Tri-Rotor Concentric Enciphering Disk used to standardize recipes. By cross-referencing the manuscript’s glyphs with Adriano Cappelli’s Lexicon Abbreviaturarum (1901), this study decodes the text as a sequence of mechanical coordinates (Action-Matter-State), identifying the pervasive token daiin not as a word, but as a mechanical delimiter (Datur-In / "Next Step").

Key Discoveries:

• The Hardware: Reconstruction of the 3-Rotor Device (Action, Matter, State).

• The Source Code: Identification of "Voynichese" glyphs as standard medieval Tironian notes (e.g., y = 9 = Con-/-us).

• The Rosetta Stone: Decoding of Folio 66r as the device’s "Variable Manifest" or boot sequence.

• The Protocol: A deterministic method to translate the "Gallow-Locked" morphology back into readable Latin instructions.
