I agree, I think Voynich bought it just before the transfer of Kircher's lot and whatever else from the Jesuits to the Vatican. I guess the Vatican assumed the cataloguing was correct, although you'd think the mistake would have been discovered upon re-cataloguing into their own library, or at some point afterward. 50 years later seems somewhat late for this discovery, and yet it took someone else to point out the discrepancy. Another 50 years has since passed, has anyone looked at the rest of it? Loose MS pages perhaps, or clues, maybe, in other correspondence or research notes yet to be found?
