The Voynich Manuscript (its herbal part) is a kind of compendium of knowledge about our History, in a similar sense to the aluminum plate covered with a thin layer of gold, which was sent into space in the 1970s on the American space probe Pioneer 10.
My proposal for decoding the Voynich Manuscript is that each of its individual pages encodes some different information.
Encryption does not only rely on written form. There is also a whole spectrum of information, which, due to limited possibilities, was also encoded in other forms – e.g. using signs and symbols: see semiotics – from Greek: "semasticos" – significant, "semasia" – meaning", "semeion" – a sign from "sema" – a sign, image, signal.
And this is also how the Voynich Manuscript is encoded. In my opinion, it is not a classic written cipher, but a symbolic rebus – an ideogram.
The Voynich Manuscript, and in particular its herbal section, is, in my opinion, a kind of compendium of knowledge about the Evolution of Life on Earth – starting from its cosmological aspect, through the evolution of man (Darwin's Theory), up to prehistory, and also contemporary history.
In the further part of the herbal section, its author encoded all the most important events from our universal history with such accuracy that many a history textbook could envy his accuracy. What's more, the encoded illustrations of the Manuscript also describe quite contemporary events, as well as those that we will only witness in the future!
When considering the symbolic meaning of the illustrations of the Voynich Manuscript in its herbal section, it is necessary to take into account the individual most important elements of a given plant: root, stem, leaves and also flower. All these elements of the plant constitute encoded information.
Below, for a better illustration of the time-historical continuum in a telegraphic shorthand, a summary of the individual illustrations of the Voynich Manuscript (from 1R to 51V).
