In my opinion if botanical experts, like Rauwolf or Gessner, would have seen the voynich ms, they would certainly have written about it somewhere, in correspondences, or books, ...
But no mention. So maybe I think they are not relevant to the history of the ms.
However I think the ms was in private collection during that time, quietly tucked away in some room in some castle of a noble. Until somehow the owner died and the books were sold or given to Mr Barschius.
