this is well said about what probably happened to this MS.
IMHO this masker worked for Voynich, who tried to create
a good legend for this piece of art. /wherever he got this tome...

some parts of this "masking" could be:
*) colouring (adds price, draws attention away from other characteristics to 
some extent)
*) some lost pages (these probably contained too much "ordinary" text, which did 
not fit to the bestseller legend about Bacon, Rudolf et altera)
*) "overwriting" of some places in text (to help retouching, to get better look 
... could this be done by the original author?)
