I was planning to find a summary on all Aristotle works and then work into the 1200-1300 and 1400's but that's probably too much.
I completely agree with that first sentence there: I think that when we consider ancient sources in the Voynich, the first point of comparison should be medieval versions, interpretations, commentary and exegeses of those sources, rather than the original ancient source material itself.
Also, if you put together such a summary of the Aristotle-centric material that was produced in the period you suggest, I would be very interested to see that list, and I think it would be a great addition to the Library.
