My concerns relate to a kind of cut and paste approach to Voynich research i.e. find a manuscript with a similar illustration then postulate a relationship. It is more difficult to ask given the influences of the time what would a creative thinker produce?
I guess I approach this from the view that the author(s) didn't merely copy from earlier sources, but added his/her/their own significant spin on his/her various influences.
If the Voynich is written in cipher then if it is merely a reproduction of other material and not in some way original there seems little point in enciphering it. Why encipher something that is available elsewhere in an undeciphered form?
