Absolutely, yes. There should have been plenty of time to identify what kind of manuscript it is, what it's about and which party/group/sect/cult/profession/individual is responsible for creating it, etc. It's not totally clear what the manuscript has been up to for the whole 600 years, but at least for the past 100 years I'd say all the right people have seen it and a lot of tests have been performed, so normally, yes, by now we would have a very good idea about what it is.

Except, we don't and this is the very reason why this forum exists and why the manuscript is included in the list of the most mysterious artifacts and people discuss some weirdest scenarios.

We can't. And it doesn't look like a conlang to me at all.

No, I don't.
