This thread got kind of hi-jacked 
But nevertheless, very interesting!
About the signature, it is too bad I can only read "G. Mülbaier" (where that curious v-shaped i-dot goes a bit astray), because, IF it would read "Mühlbauer", it would lead us to "Mühlbauer & Behrle", "German Bookshop" in Chicago, specializing in books of interest (of Jesuit origin), so it could be a son or otherwise related person to Aloys Mühlbauer. But one never knows, Voynich changed the spelling of his surname when he immigrated ("naturalized"?). At least Behrle's son got enganged in the business.

Back to the original topic, I think it safe to narrow down the dating of Voynich's catalogue #31 to 1909 - 1913.
