One could therefore speculate that a number of roughly the same magnitude were employed as scribes in the workshops. This at least does not seem unrealistic.
Of course, this says nothing about a possible female authorship.
That is a valuable point. Though, of course, as you say it is different from authorship. I think one can ask what other examples from the time are there of women collaborating on their own work not on behalf of a man?
As an aside, I wonder whether one can really say that the Voynich had a professional illustrator.
