The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[Rafal]

On the other hand, the differences above imply that the VMS artist did not understand what those details were supposed to be, or the meaning of the allegory.

I agree.
And I would go even further. For me it strongly suggests that the artist wasn't a monk because a monk would know how to tell a rosary from some chain.
For me Voynich Manuscript is almost totally lacking any religious symbolism and when there is one thing connected somehow to religion it is done wrong.

It is important observation that would contradict some theories, but yes, I cannot prove it 100%

From today I will be believing that the Voynich scribe was some "drone" guy who was good in writing but bad in drawing and didn't really understand what he was drawing, problably was copying from some pictures. It suggests some "secretary" guy working for his master.
