Of course, everyone can think what they want about the images in the VM. What happens is that when you have been researching this strange book for a few years, you inevitably ask yourself:
Is this a kind of encyclopedia of varied topics or do all the parts have a framework, the same intention that unites them?
Are they separate ideas, or does the same idea run through the book?
Is there anything that can be similar to it in its time?
I think so: the lapidaries. A medieval lapidary is a treatise on the magical properties of stones in relation to astrology, the zodiac signs, the stars.
The Voynich can be a herbarium on the magical properties of these fantastic plants
