I don't know why they did what they did. If we ever figure out what the text says, maybe it will give a clue.

"Glagolitic had spread as far as the Kievan Rus' and the Kingdom of Bohemia. Although its use declined there in the 12th century, some manuscripts in the territory of the former retained Glagolitic inclusions for centuries."
This is only speculation but maybe it had something to do with the East/West Church split. Maybe Roman Catholics didn't want to use an alphabet associated with Eastern Christianity. Previously I thought the Voynich Manuscript was likely created by Hussites to get away from the Latin of the Roman Catholic Church. I no longer think that. We know the Voynich Manuscript ended up with people strongly affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. If they had thought it had anything to do with heretics, I think they would have burned it.
