So... if the plant drawings are Italian-influenced (which I suspect they are) and the containers are Italian-influenced (which your post indicates they might be), and the zodiacs are France/AngloNorman -> Flemish -> Alsace/Bavarian -> MAYBE Italian influenced (at least according to what I've managed to find so far except it's hard to know exactly WHERE the illustrator might have seen them)...
What I've been able to find out palaeographically about the text on 116v (so far) is that it's probably Bohemia or northern Lombardian. I have almost 2,000 reference scripts to help verify this.
Northern Italy has long been on people's radars, but getting SPECiFIC examples as evidence has been elusive.
Yes, possibly incense, considering the sticks in the center (assuming they are like modern incense sticks).
