[Movie] Is the Voynich Manuscript an Elaborate Medieval Hoax?

[Koen G]

The story that Rudolf paid a large sum for it (150+ years later!) provides no evidence as to the original purpose of the work whatsoever and cannot be taken as proof the "hoax" was profitable and well-calculated.

Right, and proof for this is that Voynich himself was unable to sell it another couple of centuries later. So we could use exactly the same argument (from yet another context) to prove that the MS is unsellable.
