The claimed Voynich page

[Koen G]

Fabrizio, is this summary of the provenance correct?

• A buyer of antique furniture buys a wardrobe at an antiques fair in Narni.
  
• The wardrobe contains a mix of old documents.
  
• The buyer contacts you spontaneously to ask if you are interested in any of the documents.
  
• You buy the parchment and he sends it to you.
  
• You had the pigments tested and they contain some components that might be modern (not sure about this, Rene wrote this on the forum 10 years ago).
  

I am curious about this fascinating object, and like Rene I am convinced that you are honest and genuinely believe in it. Might I ask how you knew the seller? Why did he decide to contact you - were you known as a collector? Were you interested in the Voynich manuscript before, or manuscripts in general? Do you think the seller's story of the wardrobe is 100% reliable?
