I think so, "university project" is my primary working hypothesis. But it cannot be proved.
What would be objective indications? A complicating factor is that even advanced material can be copied and altered without fully understanding it.
It is true that many famous historical intellectuals did not attend university. But let us stay in the first half of the 15th century (or maybe even the end of the 14th if the VM was made by older persons!). Who typically attended university and who typically didn't? This would be an interesting starting point.
