Codicology - Vermont 'Tuscany Herbal'

[MarcoP]

Having seen many herbals, this one does not strike me as the 'most similar'. I'd be interested to hear the opinions of JKP and Marco on that.
The MS itself indicates that it has combined contributions from several books or MSs, and one of them clearly was an alchemical herbal, because several of the herbs are easily recognisable as such. I just point out herb #17 in the right centre of page 9, and herb #65 in the bottom right of page 51. In both cases there is a reference to an 'alio libro'.
There are many more, but they are scattered throughout and not in the usual order.
(Edit: page numbers are from my notes, I hope they are right).

Hello Rene,
it would be interesting to systematically analyze herbals in order to rank them on the basis of Voynich-proximity. Anyway, it's difficult to think of a way of doing it and it would be immensely time-consuming, since there are so many herbals and each one illustrates so many plants (I think more than 300 in Vermont ms 2).
I agree that some of the Vermont illustrations compare well with the Voynich manuscript.

Here are some pages I like (not necessarily Voynich related):

Bird leaves / flowers and a view of Florence:

PS: a major difference I see is the more detailed and three-dimensional treatment of flowers in the Voynich manuscript. But I don't think I have seen better matching flowers in other manuscripts.
