[split] Commissioned or not?

[VViews]

I agree with all of JKP's points in the last few posts here.
The fact that there may have been two, or even three "scribes" does not, in my view, constitute an argument for this being commissioned work.
I guess, if one were to argue that the Voynich was commissioned, one would have to hunt for evidence that supported that claim. I don't see any.
If we could observe the presence of a colophon for example, that might be one such indication. But there is none in the Voynich.
It was obviously created by people who were familiar with scribal practices (although not excellent at them), but again, this doesn't mean that they were commissioned to do it.
