[split] Did the VM go straight from cerebellum to vellum?

[JoJo_Jost]

There are very few corrections. However, such corrections were quite normal at the time. For this reason, there is much to suggest that it was “copied.”

What cannot be proven (at least not yet) is whether it was copied from a single source, such as a text previously written on rag paper, or whether it was “copied” from various sources and translated directly into the Voynicheese. If we imagine a cipher code, then it is also possible that the writer could have written very accurately simply because he “copied” every single letter/syllable/word from the cipher.

Different sources are not unlikely, see the different “languages.”
