Thanks Vonologia for this long answer.
Like you, I accept the datation of Carbon14 and the estimation of the years of 1404 and 1438 for this manuscript.
That means that the VM was written after the oldest date, 1438.
I don't understand why Valentina Visconti, who died in 1408, should be the writer of this mysterious manuscript.
If the writer/drawer of this manuscript belongs to the House of Visconti (I don't know if it's the case), it should be more logical to think to Margarita (1406-1466), Valentina's daughter. Or someone else.
