My opinion is that it is not a cipher (either professional or amateurish) but a phonetic script: this really makes no difference for the current topic. Evidence suggests that the Voynichese alphabet is an early XV Century creation and ciphers provide a number of examples of invented late-medieval alphabets. I believe the comparison with cipher alphabets is relevant to Koen's question, together with the comparison with plain or abbreviated scripts. The closest script can be hiding in several different places...
