All the best, --stolfi

The forgery hypothesis is possible, but what motive would Wilfrid Voynich have had to fabricate it? The manuscript’s origin from Prague seemed well established, supported in particular by the letter accompanying it. Its provenance was also traced back beyond the reign of the known emperor, which strengthens its credibility. Moreover, the manuscript was already considered valuable from the very beginning of its documented history.

I think the removal of the ex libris, as well as the alteration of the marginal mark, was likely carried out by someone else—someone intent on preserving the mystery, even before Athanasius Kircher became involved. This person may not have wanted anyone to know that the manuscript had been in the possession of Jacobus, nor to read the beginning of the unsuccessful decoding in the margin. Perhaps it was not even Jacobus himself.
