@ Diane:
I use the word "author" for brevity - i.e. "the guy who put all that Voynichese stuff down". There might have been more than one, singular is used for brevity.
The point is that when they wanted to align the stuff, they did it - like in f66r. Another excellent example is clear division of sectors in circular diagrams. Those are not "tables " in the strict sense of the word, but the purpose is the same - to organize items of text.
