Voynich Manuscript as a charlatan's prop

[Rafal]

Thanks for the clarification, Marco.

So, if I understand correctly, the whole idea of "alchemist manuscript" which is  supposed to be actually charlatan manuscript is controversial.
And Master Ghino being a charlatan is controversial too.

By the way, here are more pictures from Master Ghino: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
For me it looks like any good quality herbal manuscript. But well, I'm not the best man to judge it 

I suppose we are coming to the problem I have already briefly mentioned before.
There is a very thin line between a legitimate medieval doctor and a charlatan. Were people like Paracelsus doctors or charlatans?

I would give some rules of the thumb:
- a doctor had some diploma or belonged to a guild while charlatan didn't
- a doctor had stationary practice while charlatan travelled a lot to avoid angry clients

Ghino is portrayed as travelling man which would fit charlatan stereotype. But there may be more to it.
