Thank you Rene for sharing these ideas, i like it.
I am beyond the approach "searching-images-that-resemble". If you go to Pinterest and search a circle image, you will find thousands of images that resemble one way or another. Although enjoyable, with respect to the VMS, it seems a bit of a haystack. Just google on "hermetic circles". I found circle pages in libraries where the librarians didn't even know they had them. But you will never find a page with 9 circles like the Rosette page.
The Rosette page is, together with f57v, one of the most complex pages in the entire manuscript. Not only because of the many details, but also because of the many different symbols. History proved that the best chance of solving a problem, lies always in the littlest detail.
I think the Rosette page is NOT a map as we now use in our TomTom.
However i think it depicts places in a fantasy configuration. Something like Disneyland with all the different sections which represent the fairy tales. In the VMS the Rosette page has something to do with gardening; it is very logical compared with the other drawings in the ms.
Another very likely candidate is alembecking and distilling. In the time of the manuscript this was a woman's job. If you look at the Rosette page you see the pipes of the apparatus, but also the six "towers". The Rosette page looks like a giant factory for distillation of the sun beams and the moon moisture. To me this is the best explanation and i am working on that.
I investigated if the six towers in the middle could be probably the most important potions/elixirs that are described in the ms. In the VMS there are a total of 14 cans with labels. Could we find the names of those cans on the rosette page? No, the labels on containers could not be found on the Rosette page, exactly or significantly.
However, a long time ago i found that aspects on the Rosette page resemble: spiritus anima (abbrev.: Spi Aia) = the soul. Only made small progress there with the help of one of the Ripley Scrolls. But that is a direction i do not like to take.

If these on the Rosette represent the 7 planets, 7 days, 7 humours, 7 metals or alike, together with the earth and the sky, it would be very probable that this was discussed in the manuscript on other pages. Then we should be able to find references of the text on the Rosette-page with the other pages in the VMS.
