Also, most original transcriptions are copyrighted and cannot be placed on-line.

Nothing wrong at all, modern translations are indeed more readable in order to approach the subject and grasp the details of Aristotle's works.
A lot of medieval books relating to Aristotle are available online for free in the form of digitized manuscripts. Although these are obviously harder to read, I think they can give useful information about the way Aristotle's work was understood and represented in medieval times, and the vocabulary, spelling etc used in medieval versions would possibly be closer to the one used by the Voynich author.
