So I'm at loose ends here. If the script was written by multiple individuals, instead of some aging wizardly nutter, who badly burned her index finger, then how might VMs creation have come about? Is the VMs complied of disparate sections, in which case divisions should very clear, or were there entries by several persons on a single page, as the tilted lines might suggest?
While reasonably considered valid in the early centuries of its existence, the interpretation of VMs text as a lost 'tribal' language doesn't hold much water any more. While there is the intention to create the appearance, there is no actual "lost culture" or society behind this. There was no culture from which different parts of a combined text could originate. Unbreakable encryption and meaningless content are also investigative dead ends. What possibilities are left? It's the combined work from a cabal of wizardly nutters using set of secret symbols to unintelligibly record their foibles and flights of fantasy in their own private language?
