Can you clarify your comment in reference to the scribes? Are you saying that five different people (or fewer people but at different times) didn't write the manuscript?
What I mean - and I have said so before - is that one person wrote the whole ms. over a certain period of time or rather he wrote notes about several topics, I think we could even build timelines of writing and illustrations. The variations we see in the script are easily explained this way, they are the variations we all have in our personal handwriting. The same person illustrated the ms. and very likely had it bound, I would it compare to one of our loose leaf books. I really can't see a group of four or five different scribes in an isolated environment using this very peculiar script, not to mention the methodical problems of different hands.
