EVA "qo" in 15th century Spanish cipher

[DG97EEB]

Hi y'all. I found two 15th century Spanish cipher documents, which heavily feature the EVA "qo" symbols. Here are a few examples:



The documents are the following:

• Barcelona,Archivo de la Corona de Aragón, Diversos, Sástago, 193 (Lío B), nº 79/58.
  
• Barcelona,Archivo de la Corona de Aragón, Diversos, Sástago, 193 (Lío B), nº 79/59.
  

Unfortunately, the rest of the documents do not seem at first glance to bear ressemblance to the VMS. Here is a random example from one of them:

Funnily enough I was in Barcelona over the weekend and noted the Archives of the Crown of Aragon. I don't think they are fully digitised, but it's one of the top medieval archives in Europe. If I'd been there on a week day if have looked round, but surely worth further investigation... although you'd always hope if someone spotted something obviously Voynich like, they'd say something....

Is this look the same as the "40" in the LSJ51, which is the Syrian encoded correspondence?

In Spain there were Arabic culture. So maybe that's where it comes from?

Almost certainly, I'd say...
