The Libro de Astromagia of Alfonso reflects the work of Albumasar (9C), which itself incorporates other sources.Albumasar was translated to Latin by Abano (13C), but probably not using Alfonso' MSs.
This version of per-degree astrology or monomoeria was known and used for several centuries. It was reflected in frescoes in Padova, and printed in Augsburg in 1488. It was re-used by Agrippa in the 16th century.
Dee was familiar with both Agrippa and Abano.
The illustrations in the Voynich MS are different from all others, but those in the 1488 print are also very different from Alfonso's MS.
However, per-degree astrology was nothing unknown at the start of the 15th century.
It was used to predict a person's nature based on the date and time of birth (accurate to a few minutes) and it also varies somewhat with the geographic latitude of the place of birth.
