Re point 11.
Voynich was a chemist. If he wanted to emphasise the name, then it wasn't exactly a masterstroke.
If he wanted to make the name disappear, then it wasn't a masterstroke either.
As for the colours, I know books that are older but the colours look fresher. But that doesn't explain why the colouring was applied cleanly once and then botched again. Would a forger really do that?
And who put the flea in Ethel's ear about South American cultures? There's nothing there. Neither art nor buildings or clothing and hats.
