Indeed, the house diary of Castel Ganodolfo says that Strickland came to visit in April 1912.
We may assume that these visits are related to Wilfrid's acquisition of the books, but even that is not sure. It is certainly not written in the diary. Wilfrid never visited this place, according to this diary.
What's more, according to the diary of Villa Mondragone, Wilfrid also never visited that place.
We are completely in the dark about exactly how Strickland and Voynich interacted.
There really is no role in the story for Villa Mondragone. The only reason why the author of the paper did not definitely rule out Villa Mondragone is the fact that Ethel Voynich mentioned Frascati.
Also, even as Strickland was in Villa Mondragone in April 1912, he was 'just back' from Florence where he had been since 1903, and where Voynich had his book shop.
W.r.t. Beckx, he died in 1887, decades before the two catalogues were created. His link to this is that the books listed in both catalogues came from his so-called private library.
The only known Jesuit who can be brought in connection with the two lists is Felice Grossi Gondi S.J. Like Francesca Potenza, I had to rely on Lorenzo Mancini to decipher his name, which is barely legible.
When I last visited the area, I noted that he has a street named after him in Frascati (bad photo alert).
The document APUG 3289 is the original of the Vatican document Arch.Bibl.109 that I described at my site since 2015 or thereabouts.
