It's a hoax, but the following has not been discovered until now, AFAIK:
The text of parchment 1 of the Rennes-le-Chateau parchments has been copied
from Codex Bezae, an Old Latin/Greek Diglot from the 5th CE.
This nullifies certain theories that the differences to the Vulgate are of
special significance for decoding.
Nevertheless the question remains: Why did Cherisey use Bezae?

Well, I think this can be answered only by Cherisey. And he died recently.
He used certain books in the BN, Paris, perhaps there he found the material.
