The Modern Forgery Hypothesis

[Dana Scott]

the lining of the front cover was removed by Wilfrid and eventually replaced by a new blank sheet.

He does not seem to have added a new sheet on the Voynich MS. The J1022 is written on top of the torn bit, and also Anne Nill and Kraus wrote on the inside cover.

He may have done this with some of the other manuscripts that were sold. We see it in the Boccaccio MS, digitally online here (PDF file): You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Perhaps the J1022 is a safety deposit box/vault number, where the VMS was kept for many years in NYC.
