The manuscript measures 23.5 by 16.2 by 5
centimetres (9.3 by 6.4 by 2.0 in), with hundreds of vellum pages collected
into eighteen quires; depending on how some of its unusual fold-out multi-part
pages are counted, approximately 240 pages in total.
The top righthand corner of each recto
(righthand) page has been numbered from 1 to 116, probably by one of the
manuscript's later owners. From the various numbering gaps, it seems likely
that in the past the manuscript had at least 272 pages, some of which were
already missing when Wilfrid Voynich acquired the manuscript in 1912.
