Dirac, you may like to check my thread about another undeciphered manuscript, Rohonc Codex:

Several people including me believe it was written in logographic script "posing" as phonetic script which fooled many researchers.
This case isn't definitely solved yet but if it was true then hell yeah, it happened that someone in Europe invented from scratch a logographic script.
"Deciphering" such a script is totally different job than working with "ordinary" ciphers. I am not even sure if "deciphering" is a proper word as you basically have to guess word meanings from the context.
By the way, if Voynichese "vords" are actually words then you apply "guessing by context" approach even if they are phonetic. You may totally "bypass" the encoding process and even language recognizing and just guess that some word means Sun, herb or water.
Unfortunately nobody had any success in it with Voynich Manuscript. The structure of its text is generally weird, not chaotic but not resembling obvious natural languages too. Despite all these illustrations it is really hard to make a guess of any word that would work good in all places.
