We don't know that, of course.  We don't even know for sure whether he did ever own the manuscript.

But we know that Barschius (who was Czech) tried hard to read the manuscript for may years, showed it to other people, etc.  Then Marci (Czech too) held it for a while.  Raphael, who taught Czech to the Emperor or his children, also looked at it.

Everybody who could read Czech surely would be able to read both versions, pre- and post- the ~1410 Hus reform.  My lalamo gives this example:
  • Before: Gyzt mne wsse radost ostawa / gyz me wsse vtiechi stanu.
  • After: Jižť mě všě radost ostává / již mě vše útěchy stánu.

All the best, --stolfi

Try consulting a few works on paleography anyway; it might help.
