Work
Marci's studies covered the mechanics of colliding bodies, epilepsy, and the refraction of light, as well as other topics.
Marci at some time came into possession of the Voynich Manuscript, apparently upon the death of its former owner, the alchemist Georg Baresch. He sent the book to his longtime friend Athanasius Kircher, with a cover letter dated 19 August 1666, or possibly 1665.
