Morten, I've already stated earlier in this thread and in other threads that the style of the script on 116v is consistent with very late 14th century and early 15th to mid-15th century script. Nobody wrote like that in the early or mid-13th century.
Writing styles changed quite a bit from the early to the later medieval period. So much so, it's one of the primary means that bibliographers and historians use to estimate the dates of many manuscripts.
The style of the handwriting on 116v is very consistent with the radiocarbon dating.
This creates two problems for your theory. For one thing, you have stated that the text on 116v is central to your theory, but if it was created in the early 15th century, then it does not support your theory. The second problem is that if the main text (Voynichese) was created in the mid-13th century, then it predates the radiocarbon dating and the style of the text on 116v by more than a century.
