"Deliver Us From Evil" (2000) by Brit author Tom Holland (there's an SFSite review by Victoria Strauss here) does indeed have vampires and the Voynich Manuscript, along with Prague, America, John Milton, the Earl of Rochester, and doubtless much more (it's part of Holland's Byron-was-actually-a-vampire secret history series of books). At 1p + p&p from Amazon Marketplace sellers, buying it probably won't bankrupt most people: I've ordered a copy and will report back when it arrives...
