Well, if we compare abstract theories of nature with technical drawings of engineering, we can compare the Voynich to Fontana.
Both the Voynich and Fontana's works are amazing, but they are not comparable.
Fontana is showing off his work to his contemporaries, advancing his knowledge and advancing his prestige within his guild and his profession, showing off to his patrons and developing his own ideas.
The Voynich is.... well, we still don't know what it is, but it isn't doing what Fontana did in the same way.
