I have no idea. I work with the assumption that the carbon-dating of 1404–1438 is probably correct or close to being correct. I work with the assumption that the parchment was used within a few years of the animal being slaughtered. That would take the writing to 1404 - 1440. I have no way of making any kind of reasonable estimate closer than that. I could toss a coin but I see no value in doing that.
