Amid this long-running discussion on the merits of the 20th-century forgery hypothesis, I have to wonder: To what extent do we have consensus on the least likely period in which the VMS could have been created? For instance, if it's either an authentically 15th-century document (regardless of whether it contains meaning) or a singularly elaborate 20th-century forgery, then it can't be an 18th-century forgery.
