I try to say this again, maybe it'll stick this time.
I don't understand all this discussion about time. Time is trivially a variable: unless we posit an army of scribes who wrote all the pages in one day, there are surely big chunks of the manuscript which have been written serially along a decent span of time. It might have taken from tens of days to tens of years to just pen the VMS. Time is a given.
It's not time which matters, rather it matters what changed with the passing of time (as in the example of the Napier book referenced by @npcompl33t).
