The Modern Forgery Hypothesis

[eggyk]

The question is medieval vs. modern, and the parchment is medieval, no matter how you interpret the C-14 tests.

I just meant that things being anachronistic is being used as part of the argument that the forgery hypothesis being true, so the exact dating is somewhat relevant in that discussion. 

If the content in the manuscript matches the supposed dating, it lends credence to it being genuine (how would voynich know the age of the parchment before carbon dating, how would he know which mix of styles to add etc). 

If we find 14th century handwriting on 15th century parchment, it could raise questions. If we find 14th century handwriting on 14-15th century parchment, it doesn't.
