copy of an older, barely legible manuscript?

[ololololo]

Interesting article in Russian: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. It claims that VMS may be a copy of an Old Aramaic book.

That article is quite funny.

"f.72v2 – sisters (19 people), inner circle – 12 people; there is only one sister in the barrel (elder?); in the center is the abbess of the monastery with a beret (Pagana?) on head. Her name is written, not in the language of the main text of the book (in Arabic?)."


I think they'll find that's the month of september, not an arabic name.  

The only useful information in it is a comparison with Slavic manuscripts and a comparison with the Aramaic alphabet. This is a classic analysis by someone who doesn't understand anything but wants to pretend that they do.
Nevertheless, it is interesting that VMS is a poor copy of a text in another existing language. This may be related to the Chinese theory, where the author may not have dictated anything and instead attempted to translate the characters directly. This could explain the perceived complexity of his "system" (each character requires writing tones, pronunciation details, etc.).
