I'd have to say that I find, myself, in close accord with the sentiment expressed by Patrick Lockerby:
"... whatever happened in Italy after 1450 is of no relevance in formulating any theory about the Voynich ms."
- but that doesn't mean others can't enjoy the exercise, and I wish you all the best with your hypothesis.

The idea that the Voynich manuscript was among those found 'in a castle in Austria' is due to a lie-by-omission. He was describing another collection certainly obtained from Austria in the previous year and simply by neglecting to point out that the Voynich manuscript had not been part of that collection, allowed the lustre of the more aristocratic and beautifully illuminated works fall upon his 'pet manuscript'.

Alas histories 'engineered' are rarely of lasting worth, something which applies here to the "history" offered in 1921 by Wilfrid himself.
