Are the 1430s the most likely date range for the Zodiac drawings?

Yes the Voynich MS could equally well have been copied from the older sources. However I have argued that it is makes most sense to look at the most similar sources rather than go back to a postulated source in the distant past. Why assume the source was some unknown and unobserved source from the very beginning of the 15th century when the sources from the 1430s+ are the most similar to the central Zodiac drawings in the Voynich?
