Voynich Manuscript and Milan Connection?

[Oscroft]

Forgive me if this might seem a little dismissive, as that's not my intention. But you list a number of things about marriages etc, and provide links to various sources, and I'm having trouble seeing the extent of actual connections with VMS.

So, we have an architectural feature shown in the document which was apparently common over a fairly wide area of Europe. And some German is written in the margins.

And what you have found is a place where the same common architectural feature can be found, and where there were probably Germans who could write. Is that the crux of it?

I can give you some other reasons:

1) A place from which the most advanced cipher we know of comes, from the time to which the Voynich manuscript is carbon dated.

2) A place with probably the highest concentration of swallow-tail battlements.

Those are interesting additions, thanks. But if swallow-tail battlements and a connection to Germany are key... why not Germany? I mean, Milan might have a high concentration of swallow-tail battlements... But Germany has by far the biggest connection to Germany!
