I was struck by the way that certain letters and combinations on this ms page resemble certain Voynich ms characters.

This copy (Cod. Pal. Vindob. 1294) was transcribed in 1407, by a Bohemian student (source: Dr. Iohann Loserth, 1886 edition, page xvii). English gothic cursive variants are much less reminiscent of Voynichese glyphs it seems.
