Vellum wasn't just lying around... although others have discussed this at great lengths and opinions vary.. but pushing Voynich in to the 16th century is a bit of a stretch.. that said, Hans may simply have been reflecting his own intellectual milieu and maybe, we see echoes of Voynich rather than Voynich itself.. who knows
The MS with the EVA-ish "ain" is from 1486. So the parchment would only have been "lying around" for a few decades at this point.
PS. I edited the main post to add the 3 Hans' birth- and death-dates:
- Hans Rosenplüt (1400-1460),
- Hans Folz (1435-1513),
- Hans Sachs (1494-1576).
