Koen,
In case it helps, the Synonyma is the multilingual plant glossary recommended by Roger Bacon and legislated for the pharmacists and physicians of Paris for the fourteenth century.
I don't know who first brought up this topic of Simon of Genoa's text - I daresay it might have been one of the original, and now-long absent members of the first mailing list.
I mention it a few times, and in some detail in posts to voynichimagery, if you'd like something specifically Voynich related.
