That's disappointing.   Sorry to hear it.

In my inter-library loan system, it points to copies of the facsimile edition in:

- Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin

- HBZ Nordrhein-Westfalen

- StUB Frankfurt

I am tempted, even though I don't for a second believe that Agrippa had anything to do with the (creation of the) Voynich MS.

In my (very long) experience with the German ILL System I have found that you can get any book if the Library who owns it is lending it out at all

Maybe I just can not find it. I only found the early print edition of 1533 ( everywhere in the country ), not the edition of 1510.

Here is the entry in the catalog of the University of Würzburg:

I can't follow.
The facsimile edition from Graz is from 1967.
One can search for that.

It is wonderful! I will wait for you to answer. I came to the conclusion that even after reading the books on graphanalysis I can not accurately determine the significant difference between his handwriting and the introductory sheets. (if the handwriting in the manuscript at auction belongs to him)

I got the answer to my email today. It is possible to digitize a page from microfilm. The only question would be which page

Dear Mr. .....,

please excuse the delay of my answer, we are currently in the middle of the preparations for an exhibition in May and I had probably overlooked your email. Unfortunately, the handwriting you want is not yet available in our Virtual Library. But you can make a repro request:

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

I have just looked, we can also offer you scans of our security film (microfilm), these are of quality only to use as a working copy, but that would be a bit cheaper than the complete handwriting high resolution scan of the original (which at the moment for the above reason also would take longer).

I hope that helps you? If you have further questions, please contact us again.

Yours sincerely

A better example, f 1r

Thank you, Helmut.

That's much more the style of handwriting one would expect from early 1500s.
