How likely is it that we will be able to learn more about the author of the Voynich Manuscript?
On the assumption that, once we can read the Voynich Manuscript, the following are true:
1) we identify a named author;
2) he was European;
3) lived some time between 1400 and 1450;
4) had at least a moderate education and income; and
5) is not otherwise known to history.
I know that for England (for example; I do not believe the author was English) there are likely to be other documents of the period which identify clerks by name, either contracts, legal documents, accounts, and so on. But what if the author was Italian, German, Polish, Czech, or other? Will we be left with a name only or is there likely more that we can discover?
