How fast could a scribe write a Voynich like text?

[Jorge_Stolfi]

I found an estimate of around 2 pages a day for a good scribe

I guess that this estimate is for a good scribe writing high quality text with neat uniform "font", ornate letters, etc. Not just a faithful copy.

1. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. seems to have been written directly by the author without a draft, "from brain to paper". 
   
2. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. was written by a professional scribe, probably in a "book factory", copying literally from some earlier copy.  It had to be a faithful copy, but the scribe made many errors that were corrected, presumably by a proofreading scribe.  I suppose that it is a typical commercial-quality product, that a scholar would find good enough.
   
3. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is a higher-quality product where obviously a neat and uniform "font" was essential and visible corrections would not be tolerated.  I guess that it was meant for the luxury book market, for rich clients to show off.  A Vuitton book.
   

Apart from the ornate initials (which are practically lacking in the VMS), and the proofreading, I would guess that book 2 took less than 1 hour per page to write, and book 3 did not take more than twice that. The scribe of 3 just had to write a bit more slowly to make sure that the strokes would be all the proper size and shape; while the scribe of 2 could let his hand move "semi-autonomously".

All the best, --stolfi
