[iii] "Tiltman (...) states that 'virtually all copies of the manuscript in private hands are derived from Fr. Petersons photostats'." D'IMPERIO (1978) p.39, 41

[iv] "Except for the colors, the sheet of photostatic print {sic} which I compared to the manuscript is an excellent reproduction." CARTER (1946)

[v] "The British Museum also has a photocopy of the MS donated to them by John Manly circa 1931. They apparently lost it until 12 March 1947, when it was entered in the catalogue (without cross-references under Voynich, Manly, Roger Bacon or any other useful keywords...)" BAEZ (1992)

[viii] "[...] when the buyer, Hans P. Kraus, was agreed upon, Anne Nill started sending out letters to all those people who had received copies of the MS to please return them, because the potential buyer wanted to buy only on the condition of exclusive rights to the publications about the MS. Evidently, he also had some hope that the MS was of major scientific importance. Some owners of the copies returned these (e.g. Petersen, and the N.Y. Public Library). Most of the others simply responded that they wouldn't make further copies for others, or publish anything about it without first asking the new owner." ZANDBERGEN (2015-08-09)
