Register or Login to view.After Voynich agreed to the terms and conditions, he also agreed that Strickland select other illustrated or illuminated manuscritps on parchment, for a standard price of 500 Lire (100 dollars) per item.

That is 100 dollars of 1911, right?  Which would be ~$3500 today.  Or ~$100'000 for the whole lot. 

It still seems a small sum for the Jesuits to be running such a risk...
