I think that possibility has been investigated, and the conclusion was that because the script and "language" didn't seem to evolve over the course of the writing, it is probably not the product of a schizophrenic. The letters and "words" are pretty much the same regardless of where they appear.

It could simply be a very unimaginative and uncreative schizophrenic.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Hehe I love that. Whole world full of smart people going, "What is this document, might not ever know!"
Then some random women on youtube is all like, "Hey guys, its not really that hard, here is my logical argument and evidence..."

I've always found this interesting. For the amount of dead languages in our history, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a detailed manuscript of something, with Voynich-A and Voynich-B being a sort of rosetta stone for each other. And that could make sense if the stack of papers was originally two separate books that someone hastily or mistakenly put in the wrong order before binding, interspersing the pages and therefore mixing pages from what were actually two separate books. I understand some think it's a hoax, and skeptoid talked about marketing collateral. But 240 pages of first-use parchment seems like an Ocean's Eleven level of absurd over-investment in a scam or to peddle service. We're not talking reams of paper from Staples here, nor anywhere near the density of literacy we have nowadays. Having said all that though, I'm thinking this is a travelogue of Atlantis

She gives off a definite Amish vibe. Has the missing-teeth lisp and everything.
