I would disagree and say that it is most likely that the scribe is the author.
We thus have no editing, because the scribe is worrying what he knows in a fluid fashion.
The scribe is probably transcribing from private notes, and had a good idea about what he wants to commit to paper on each page, leading to a confident and fluid style.
Furthermore, if we postulate that he is transcribing his life 's notes, then different handwriting may be nothing more than the signs of advancing age / disease.
This would also explain the folio coverage and binding issues.the scribe was writing on folios, and not worrying about how it would be bound up. So we end up with the rosette, and the balneario folios which jump from front to back.
All of this presupposes that the scribe was fluent in Voynichese of course.
