I know this is really niche, but please bear with me.

The Voynich Manuscript is a mystery on its own, but there is evidence of several missing pages. Only 240 pages exist today, but there was likely closer to 270. One of the missing pages almost certainly had Capricorn and Aquarius on it.

This is an example of historical lost media that I’m sure will never be found again.

If we assume the pages have survived, I guess the first place I would look is in previous locations where it was held, or with the relatives of previous owners.

I wonder what the reason for the pages going missing is. Maybe they got damaged, maybe whoever removed them didn't think other people should see them, maybe they're being kept by someone in a private collection, maybe whoever has them doesn't even realise what they are... I feel like the last two are best case scenario, provided they're being looked after properly.

Some of the pages still have the stubs as if they were cut out. I wonder if one of the previous owners was a Capricorn or Aquarius, since that’s almost certainly on one of the missing pages.

Also forgot to mention, the original cover is missing. It was rebound in plain parchment at a later date. The original cover was likely wood covered in leather. And it’s likely the pages were rearranged in the wrong order when it was rebound.
