Torsten, I generally like your "autocitation hypothesis".
But does this paper bring anything new?
I wouldn't also agree with "Single authorship". The handwriting on different pages feels disctinct to me. Some scribes generate more text than other, some have their style like using "ed" a lot (see: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ). These styles were labelled once as Currier A and Currier B.
Do you mean single authorship of:
- written text: it was all written in whole VM by one man
- designed text: it was written by one man in some draft and then could be copied by several scribes to VM
- the system: one man designed "the word generator" and then several people used it
?
