Petrus Beckx was never really involved personally with the Voynich MS.
He was the general superior of the Society of Jesus, when their properties were seized by the newly formed Italian state, and a large collection of manuscripts (including the Voynich MS) was put into hiding.
To protect these manuscripts, they were labelled to be from his private library, while they really were not.
All the manuscripts that Voynich acquired in 1912 (of which the "Voynich MS" was just one), were from this so-called private library.
