Is Newbold's book out of copyright yet? If it is, it would be a good thing 
for a willing listmember to scan (there's plenty of hosting webspace out 
there if you just ask for it).

        Newbold, William Romaine. The Cipher of Roger Bacon, edited with
        foreword and notes by Roland Grubb Kent. Philadelphia: University
        of Pennsylvania Press; London, H. Milford, Oxford University Press,
        1928.

Similarly, we might find items of relevance to this "missing leaves" issue 
in the Voynich papers for the critical 1919-1931 period. I don't know if 
the Grolier Club would be interested in allowing scans of Box 6 to be made 
- has anyone asked them?
