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

[bi3mw]

A copy of the bible would require far more care and effort than just repeating some meaningless words

Well, the Bible would be practically copied ( without comments and such ). It would not have been necessary to create new "text" and the corresponding illustrations. Judging by the very small number of errors in the text of the VMS [1], I would assume that the scribes were quite willing to take some care. Certainly, one would have had to deal with a complete Bible copy with still more text (approx. 800,000 words) but one could have limited oneself to individual books ( for example the Book of Revelation ). A nice and easy job.The result would have been easy to sell.

[1]  Ever since high-resolution images of the MS have been publicly available, closer scrutiny by many people has revealed a few cases where it appears that the text has been emended. Following are those cases I am aware of, which shows that such corrections are few and minor.

As an aside, the fact that there are corrections in the VMS at all makes the question of whether it is meaningless text in the VMS moot. In this case, no corrections would be necessary.
