I wonder, was Voynich even able to make a forgery (physical condition)?
After his time in prison and his stay in Siberia, he has a disability in one shoulder/arm.
If I look at his cat, he could perhaps still draw naked women. But would that be enough to forge a letter/Handwriting?
I think you could read that from his handwriting. I just don't have any.
He was a chemist and pharmacist and first had to be motivated by someone from the British Museum to trade in books. He was not a history scholar.
Did he even have enough knowledge of history to make such a forgery? How much time would have to pass to accumulate enough knowledge?
Even a cleaning lady can sell second-hand cars, but she's still not a mechanical engineer.
