A hypothesis on why/how the VMS was made

[ReneZ]

The following point is not meant as a criticism, but more as a general remark for all people thinking along these lines.

We're not really lacking any possible explanations why the MS was created, why it was 'encoded', in which historical context. There are plenty and the above is one example. Doing this is fun, and at the same time one gets to look up and read more about some of the fascinating parts of history.
Now while we have several different explanations, we do not (yet) know which one, if any, is the correct one, and this will still be worthwhile finding out.

What we lack, very much, is good evidence that the text is indeed encoded information, that could have been of some value in the 15th century. I like to think that it is, but I am not convinced.
