I agree with the statement and voted Yes.
Yet, maybe it would be more correct to say that "the support of the manuscript is not a palimpsest"?
I understand that a palimpsest is a ms that was erased to be reused. The VMS was certainly not erased, by I think what is meant here is that the vellum it is written on was only used to write the VMS (it did not contain an older text that was erased).
