I think it is not possible to search DNA under the ink.
The ink is a dissolved liquid and is absorbed by the parchment.
The human DNA would be somewhere in the ink.
I can understand your idea, but it is not a varnish where I can just peel off.
What you have said makes perfect sense. So maybe rather than looking for DNA "under" the ink it would be better to look for DNA "in" the ink. One would not expect later DNA such as that of Wilfred Voynich to be found in the ink as the ink has dried. If the ink has not destroyed the DNA then it should still be there in the ink.
I repeat that I am no expert it this area and would welcome the opinions of those with expertise in this area.
Likewise other may also have ideas where else in the manuscript the author(s)' DNA might be found separate from the other DNA.
