I cannot judge whether your idea about Uyghur is linguistically valid, but it's an historical fact that there were Uyghurs who came via Baghdad to mainland Europe in the thirteenth century, and there's nothing historically impossible about their having brought works in that language and/or having taught a little of it while they wintered over in Genoa. They had come as ambassadors for both the Mongul ruler and the head of the Nestorian church. They visited Sicily, Italy and France and met the king of England, too.
I wrote about this some time ago, but it has come to be repeated since then and there's plenty online too. Look for "Mar Sawma" AND "Wallis Budge" and you can read the first hand account in English translation if you like.
Georg Stolfi also concluded that the Voynich language was possible one in use in inner Asia at that time. He suggested Jurchen.
Cheers.
