  In response to a reproduction request that I made for an enciphered letter to the Milan State Archives I also asked candidly and directly about the Voynich. I have received this response->
  
  "The State Archives of Milan preserve a considerable amount of documentation potentially contemporary with the Voynich manuscript.  However, these are not mostly codes, but documents (papers and parchments), which
  appear to have exclusively content-related affinities with the manuscript you are interested in (e.g.
  Sforza scat.  1569 is a collection of materials on astrological topics).
  The director
  Professor Annalisa Rossi"
  
  
  Has any Voynich researcher visited the Milan State Archives ever? It is my impression that the Milan Archives have been much slower in digitising its content than some other archives.(As seems to be a common problem with Italian archive.)

  Of course as stated elsewhere the limited number of ciphers in the Milan Archives from the time of the Voynich is due to the 1447 FIRE of the Castello di Porta da Giovia
