Good historical works on medieval educational methods?

Renegade, I am hoping palaeography can clear up some of those mystery holes, but it is definitely needle-in-a-haystack research (I've been searching almost daily for more than 11 years with no bingo yet).

I'm very excited about the recent interest in the VMS in the Czech Republic. I hope that at least one decent researcher who feels comfortable discussing the VMS in English will eventually become a liason with this group. I think Czechia is tied with Italy as the place where a new artifact connected with the VMS is most likely to surface. I've never been to either country, but I get the sense from other people's stories that Italian government and religious authorities put up a lot of barriers to amateurs wanting to access ancient works of art and literature, to deter antiquities trafficking and historical revisionism / tampering. Does the same hold true in Czechia, for the most part, for those who've tried to do fieldwork there?

I'm a non-native Chinese speaker, and I'd like to brush up on my Chinese by getting involved (at least as a lurker) in Chinese-language Voynich forums. Chinese coders are prolific, and China has and old and rich tradition of paleography; I'm guessing interest in the VMS is a small but vibrant scene in China, that might produce some interesting insights and approaches that deserve more exposure.
