Voynich sold several thousand printed books (not manuscripts) to the British Museum, over a period of probably 20 years.
In his eighth list of books of 1902, he sold 137 rare books to the BM at once. These are also mostly, if not all, prints. One of them is printed on previously written parchment, i.e. a print palimpsest. Quite unusual, but not particularly valuable.
