Leonell C. Strong

Leonell C. Strong (January 19, 1894 – August 31, 1982) was a cancer research scientist and amateur cryptographer.

In 1947 he published a translation of two pages of the Voynich Manuscript in which he claimed that the author was Anthony Askham (who, in fact lived about a century after the VM has since been proved to have been created).

In 1978 he received the William B. Coley Award.
