Nick Pelling introduced on his blog the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. with the aim of matching blocks of text sources across several pages of the Voynich manuscript in an attempt to create a new angle for voynich analysis.
I tried to use a special use case of his methodology in order to match a single text source to a single folio analysing the network of imagery within. I attach the summary of my findings in essay format You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. .
As the title of the thread and essay already indicates, I suggest strong links of the Rosette folio’s micro-imagery (part of it, not all) to Aristotle’s Meteorologica (as indicated previously You are not allowed to view links.

For those not fancying the full story, I attach one figure with two findings: Firewinds and whirlwinds and their proximity in text (webster translation of Meteorologica, Bekker pagination fro the greek version in the figure) and image details, respectively.
Other findings e.g. relate to earthquakes. The discussion then introduces some more suggestions (e.g. the Aristotelian life cycle in the context of the Meteorologica). By no means is that work finished, but if anyone wants to comment on it, I would be grateful for any feedback.
