Just to summarise what we are supposed to believe:
Voynich decided to add the name of Jacobus de Tepenec to his book. (No evidence for this)
He wrote this, then erased it. (No evidence for this)
He then took a photo of that. (This photo, or one of several still exists)
He then applied chemicals to make it visible again. (Clear evidence for this)
He then realised that it would be very suspicious if he knew who was Tepenec, so he decided to write to the Bohemian state archives to aks who he was, pretending that he thought it was a contemporary of Marci. (The correpondence survived).
He was so worried about not getting a response, that he also asked his employee in London: Herbert Garland to try and find information. (the correspondence survived).
Guess what: I don't buy this.
Edit: pointless point removed :-)
