Fabrizio, if you don't mind, might I ask a few more questions. These may have been answered before, but the discussion is long.
When you were offered the parchment, you did not recognize it as related to the Voynich manuscript, correct? And you certainly didn't know the names of all the people that were connected to its provenance. So is it possible that the other documents with the parchment would have connected it to the line of provenance, but you had no way of knowing at the time? Do you have any image of these documents left, or anything more concrete?
You say the parchment was found in a piece of furniture from a sacristy, so it was presumably kept by a church. Was this from Narni, or could the furniture have been brought to the Narni antiques market from anywhere?
