~Summary:

this is easily the simplest theory of all:
Voynich found a stack of old calfskin, and penned a varied and enigmatic herbal of questionable quality and origin,
  using his wide ranging knowledge of literature as a rough source.
He had the materials, the access to knowledge, the ability and the motivation to do so.[1]

~Details:
- Voynich Manuscript was created circa 1908-1910

- Created by or at the request of Wilfrid Voynich

- Voynich told various contradictory stories about where he got the VMS from

- Multiple varied and diverse expert opinion as to origin, content, meaning, and era.
- anachronistic content.
- poor and/or missing and/or contradictory provenance.

~Additional:
- Sometime later, the 1666 Marci to Kircher letter was forged.
