Hi,
Old books are one of my hobbies and sometimes I find hand written marginal comments or marks of ownership. Related to that I was researching how to time old handwriting styles and was reminded of "legal hand" writing in 1300-1400's and how much it resembles Voynich style, at least to my untrained eye.
Just wondering, have people looked into legal/court document archives from the region where Manuscript might originate? Maybe it would be possible to find styles that are close to some of the scribes unique styles? I understand Voynich is not a abbreviated speed writing though it looks like it was written by one well versed with the art.
Just my 2 cents. I have just recently learned more about Voynich and I guess I'm on my Dunning-Kruger hill.
Illustrative example attached.

Sorry, I don't know what happened to formatting. Every time I try to edit it just adds more whitespace.
