The Beinecke library has one of the largest (if not THE largest) collection of medieval manuscripts in the USA. I am sure that it is the largest in some important category. (Unfortunately, I couldn't quickly find the web page with the information).
The Voynich MS is already getting far more attention than it really deserves, by an incredible margin. I am not sure how many other manuscripts in the collection have been radio-carbon dated, had their parchment tested for species, or have had their inks and pigments tested. Let alone all these things combined.
