  Hello, I'm new to this forum and VM topic but very enthusiastic about the fun it gives to solve at least some puzzle the VM has.
  I don't know how many puzzles are there - the first owner, the author, is it a medical recipe or not, did the author had a sense of humor or not.
  Definately he was not a monk.
  
  I believe the author was asked if he can read it. The answer was kind of why? I know its contents without reading. 
  
  The manuscript was never meant to be decoded. Why did an author encoded it? Perhaps it was a tool in some negotiations. 
  
  I think botanist Dr Leonard Rauwolf did own the manuscript but he was not the 1st owner. 
  
  The manuscript was never meant to be docoded since the author could write it in plain text. There was some context to it. Probably of a very significant historical moment. You just can’t go to king and sell him book. He may just cut off your head  
  
  
  I think he left no key to read the text. Let's say we see STAR on page X. STAR can have different meaning on page Y. It is one difficulty.
  
  
  The code has 2 layers: the unknown alphabet that hides some word say DESCENDANT. If somene will get that deep enough to read this word the author by DESCENDANT means other word say CASTLE.
  
  Plain text = CASTLE
  
  coded text = DESCENDANT
  
  word DESCENDANT is then encoded into unknown alphabet.
  
  Like that. Good luck.

  What makes you believe Dr Leonard Rauwolf owned the MS?

  It is not the point of my main interest /at this time/ to discuss botanist Dr Leonard Rauwolf as it
  doesn't help me to het to the original author.
  
  
  There is a key to manuscript and I'm working on it.
  
  Behind every human action there is always some logic.
  
  I want to try to understand the main motive. I gave short historic insight what was happening in Europe
  in year 1404-1438.
  
  As I mentioned you just cannot simply write a book and then go to king and sell him it.
  
  If language could not be read at  that time it is very unlikely that after the book was made the book
  
  was lost for 150 years and when found no one could read it.
  
  I think the book was made for contemporary people but something went wrong.
  
  The book is about medical recipe/recipes.
  
  There is a key to manuscript and I'm working on it.
  
  It has nothing to do with computers.
  
  One must know history, origins of humanity, divine power. Let's say bible has code but the code
  may not be visible in text due to many translations and interpretations. How about divine revelations? Heaven works in miraclous ways.
  
  
  You don't need to know super high math or be a super code cracker.
  
  
  You simply need to read the recipe as the author was phisican / healer.
  
  
  Not many pepple know what 'Mona Lisa' is looking at. Sh is looking at Rome, at Rome, my friend.
  
  
  Did anybody succeed with Dorabella cipher?
  Could the author write message "Hello I love you, will you marry me". No.
  The true meaning of Dorabella cipher is "I want to know you forever".
  
  
  I shall come back when I'm ready.

  It's probably true that people had forgotten what the manuscript was all about by the time it resurfaces in the historic record. This is interesting in itself, because it means that at one critical moment it changed hands without additional information attached. Was it sold without explanation? Found after someone's death? Stolen or confiscated?
  
  At one point, someone who knew the manuscript's true nature did not share this information with the new owner. Either because they were unable or unwilling.

  If manuscript could not be read at date when createded, 150 years afterwards and in 2024 it means
  don't look for any known language.
  
  I think I found the author. Physician from northern Italy. A man in late 40s. But that's not all.
