Milan Beckons

[Mark Knowles]

I am going to Milan from the 12th of February to the 24th February. My intention is to see as much as I am able that is potentially relevant to the Voynich in the archives there. I will certainly be visiting the Milan State Archives. It is also likely that I will visit the Ambrosiana Library and maybe also the Trivulziana Library(in the Castello Sforzesco). It is possible that I may also visit archives in Pavia. This all depends on how much there is to see in any one of the archives. This may constitute the prelude to a much longer trip to Milanese archives in the future. I would also like to visit the Vatican archives at some time on the future.
I will be doing a presentation on my theory of the Voynich manuscript at the Abbey of Saints Nazzaro and Celso(where Antonio Barbavara was Abbot) on the evening of the 15th of February. This presentation is aimed at a popular audience rather than an academic one.
If anyone has any suggestions as to documents or manuscripts that I should see I would welcome those suggestions.
