Information about Voynich Author

[VViews]

Hi Emma May Smith,
I think it's also just as likely that even if the Voynich were deciphered, we might still not know the author.
We don't know the names of a large portion of the medieval scribes who wrote manuscripts we can read. Colophons help, but are not always present.
It's also possible that the author may identify himself in the book by some kind of bombastic nom-de-plume, as many alchemists did for example. So if the author does identify himself, it might be as, say, "Joe the Most Secretive" or "Son of Hermes" and if that's all the info we'll get about him as an author, it would make tracking down more about him rather difficult.
