In 1912, Voynich sold a medieval herbal to the Welcome Trust (MS 334), with which he was in frequent contact. The herbal showed an image of a dog ripping up a mandrake plant root from the ground. On January 13 Voynich wrote Charles Thompson asking if he wanted to keep the Roger Bacon “13th century medical manuscript which I sent for your inspection.” Thompson did not.
