I guess I didn't put it very well - what I meant was the opposite - 
while it is _possible_, as with the first modern discovery of a 
coelecanth, that there are other related manuscripts which just haven't 
surfaced yet, my guess is that the VM is unique, the product of one or 
more eccentric (or bloody-minded) individuals who made it for reasons 
unknown.
