I would risk saying that if Voynich Manuscript is a medieval gibberish hoax, then it is probably the best of medieval gibberish hoaxes.
It could be also the best (in term of mimicking real object) but at the same quite inefficient - the cost of production was too high compared to the income. So people didn't do similar things in history.
Other similar hoaxes, if ever existed, were probably recognized. And medieval people didn't collect wrongful books for future generations. They just burnt them.
Also remember that on the other hand we know about very original, creative and quite unique hoaxes. The lack of similar cases doesn't mean that they didn't happen.
