How do you prefer to abbreviate "Voynich Manuscript"

[Anton]

The word "Manuscript" is typically abbreviated as "MS" or "Ms" (the difference is mostly a matter of style, I think), hence I typically use VMS, not VM. In my field of occupation, the acronym VM stands for "virtual machine", so I tend to avoid it when referring to the Voynich Manuscript, although VMS is longer.

"Beinecke MS 408" would be correct from the academic style viewpoint, but it's cumbersome to type it over and over.
