Hello Elmar,
Perhaps the three lines which might include German are those on
f116v.

Hei Dana,
Hm, I checked it out... this line is probably not of
much use, since it's
hard to tell whether it's an integral part of the
book, or a marginal note
added later on...
Wasn't it mentioned
somewhere that there were "three lines of German" in a
paragraph of
Voynichese?
And what about the "key"? Some latin phrase, translating to
"I have been
given many doors" on the last page? I checked but couldn't
find any
decipherable (ha!) latin letters there.
If this is truly a
hoax, that'd be the best thing, because then the riddle
would never
end...
Cheers,
Elmar
