Did the scribes copy the letters correctly?
#19
I would like to reiterate the essence of this thread and my thesis in particular. There is a possibility that the VMS in its familiar form is not a copy of the original, but rather a "free interpretation" of it. The supposed scribes may have adapted the writing system to their own needs, making it easier to write, which could have led to a loss of meaning for the entire manuscript or made it more difficult to understand (it is possible that one of the scribes may have thought that they "understood something" in Voynichese, leading to some self-interpretations). I find this more likely than a mass of errors from clumsy scribes. It makes more sense to have an error in their interpretation than an error in their writing. 
I don't believe in the "scribe's mistake", but beyond assumptions, it's very satisfying food for thought...
