Then the Vatican may authorize the request to see said material.

Uhhh...think about that. It is a bamboozle! You can't look at what you don't know is there & you can't know what is there if you can't look at it. It's criminal!
I say again, write your UN representative & demand legal action to free these resources.
the words on these ancients documents are enough, but many of these pages were erased & rewritten with other material. Current scientific methods can restore these as they did that treatise of Archimedes on calculus (they wrote a prayer book over it!)
I'll find that reference.
The term for overwritten pages is
palimpsest. Hard to find when you think the word is "palimsest".
