[Jorge_Stolfi]

thought he had a Latin sentence in front of him and, like us here, tried to find a solution

That is not my proposal.  I think the Restorer of those lines was not trying to recover the sentence, or even the words.  His primary intention was just to restore the characters.  And he may not even have assumed that they were Latin letters; he just "saw" Latin letters in the faint smudges that remained because those were the characters he was familiar with.  (Why should I be the only person in all history with Superior Pareidolia?)  

It is even possible that he (unlike Barschius) had not spent much time looking at the book, and thus had not yet learned the Voynichese alphabet...

IF it is Latin, what is the most coherent translation?

I believe that the "restored" text made no sense even to the Restorer himself.  Thus I would say that this line of inquiry is a waste of time.   Which it seems to have been for the least 100 years...

All the best, --stolfi
