Getting back to the post of Emma and the 150+years gap, this amount of time it seems to me an eternity. I completely ignore what could happen with the VMS.
I am over 50 years old and in this time I've seen many things change. So, in 150+ years the world and the mentality of the people had to go through a huge change. The proof is that no learned man of the court of Rodolf II was able to understand the Voynich.
What we do know positively is that in this 150+ years there were many inquisitions in Europe. It is quite likely that there were some works like the Voynich with the same weird script, but is also likely that they would end in fire.
