In particular, the Zoroastrian calendar has 30 deities associated with the days of the month: this looks like a good parallel for the 30 nymphs surrounding the Voynich zodiac medallions (but the Persian deities are both male and female, as far as I know).
I have a question. Is it definite all the figures are female? Or is that up for debate? Everyone always refers to them as women, but the very definite boobs aren't there on some of the figures, and at least 2 of the ones I've attached here look like they have beards? Also, the central couple on f72r2 look almost like a wedding/married couple, and if that's the case, 'his' style of clothing and hair are present on a few of the other nymphs. Please do tell me if I'm completely wrong!
I know the following aren't all taken from the 'medallions' with 30 figures that you mention above, some have 15, and one has (I think) 29, but could not some of these be men?
