[split] Are there trees in the VMS?
#9
As discussed by Rene Zandbergen, Ellie Velinska, Alain Touwaide and several others, the illustration in Voynich You are not allowed to view links.

It's interesting that the same manuscript contains another illustration, in which the fruits of the oak tree are discussed ("galla" i.e. acorn, f74r).
Here I have attached the "galla" illustration to the "edera" parallel from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. Manuscripts in the Tractatus de Herbis tradition typically represent a few trees, so it's possible to compare similarities and differences with illustrations of smaller plants. For instance, in this same ms, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. represents the fig tree "ficus".
