Exactly! We do not know when it was communicated and
how reliable it is.

or,

There was no imperial link at all and the information 
about Rudolf and the 600 ducats was intended to interest
Kircher (in the same way as the Egyptian link in Baresch's letter).

The Uppsala MS by Misovsky has a section on secret writing
and was completed in 1628. So if Dr. Raphael knew about
VMS at that time (in fact he may have owned it for some time
and then sold it to Baresch) one would expect he should
have mentioned it in his work.
