I would say that in principle there is also a template for the rosettes. However, with a high degree of abstraction that allows a direct interpretation only with difficulty. Since I assume that the VMS is a collective manuscript, it is very well possible that the individual sections treat different topics. So it doesn't have to be a consistent theme like medicine. These thematically mixed manuscripts are relatively common in the Middle Ages.
