I still keep open the possibility that it is a 16th-century manuscript on old parchment and intended to express early 15th-century ideas, text, fashions, etc., (perhaps a copy of an early 15th-century manuscript????), but I am doubtful that it could be any later than 16th century.
The various notes added to the VMS are all in styles that were prevalent in the 15th century, as are the quire numbers. I base this on over 10 years of collecting and studying scripts that are similar to the scripts in the VMS.
The folio numbers could be anytime from latter 15th century to 17th century, but are mostly likely 16th century (this style of numbers was used for about a century and a half).
