The point I take away from this is that Marci apparently doesn't know what to do with the manuscript once he got it in his hands, so he continued Baresch' line of inquiry. He knows Baresch wanted Kircher's help. "Ever since I first owned it I have destined it for you my dearest Athanasius, persuaded as I am that it can be read by none if not by you" --> he doesn't know what else to do with it than to send it to Kircher.
