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

[RobGea]

Anyways,
I was thinking about this last night before i fell asleep ( is that a good or bad sign ?  O_o )

# To reduce your initial capital outlay to create or hoax the VMS , you could just steal the vellum, even the ink and quills.
    The you just need to get renumerated for your time spent creating it.

# bi3mw wrote "The Unique Selling Point of the VMS is the fact that it cannot be read (yet)."
   nablator has covered this point but to add a little to it.
This USP can be used creatively for a spiel, backstory, marketing ploy. For example:

"This text holds the secrets to the philosphers stone,
 Do you want to be the richest person in the world?
 Do you want to live forever?
 If you crack this code then all this can be yours"

# Who would buy the VMS circa 1450ish ?
  well several of the purported authors/sponsors of the vms would have had an interest and were rich
  not to mention all the other candidiates, wealthy patrons of the arts,booklovers,
  they might not have paid Rudolf prices but they could pay well. Some candidates could be :
Barbara of Cilli              (1392-1451)
Nicholas of Cusa              (1401-1464)
Federico da Montefeltro      (1422-1482)
Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta (1417-1468)
