I find the reference to Barschius' thesis of significant interest!
W.r.t. the forms of Mnischowsky's name, the form 'Mni' is simply a phonetic rendering of the pronunciation of 'Mi'.
'Misch' is also the form used for the author of the Trithemian book now kept in Uppsala.
His book 'Funebria (etc)' ( You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ) was signed as: Raphael Misowsky de Sebuzin et in Lochkow.
The Dr. before his name must have been his academic title. He had no background in medicine. Note that Barschius was 'only' Magister.
There are more details in the letter that Voynich received from Dr.Klicman in Prague. I will write more about that when I am back home.
