I don't like to argue, but I am happy if it has helped everyone pay attention to the essentials: the Rosette folio is a representation of the Ptolemaic universe, with the stars emitting their virtues to the Earth through tubes that pass through the spheres. It is an iconographic reading that is coherent with the whole book, which forms a unit because the plants we see are born and grow for this reason.
The author has taken this idea from the fact that the stars twinkle, they seem to send something to Earth. In the Voynich we see a lot of stars but we don't see any planets.
And I repeat, if someone has a better unified theory and defends it with solid arguments, I might change my mind. But I will not stop insisting on what I believe when the understanding of a singular work of human culture is at stake.
