Taking years looking at the Voynich forces you to delve into medieval culture, provided, of course, that you believe that it is an authentic and genuine document. I think it is and what surprises me is that there are people who think it is a hoax.
If I think it is a genuine document it is because by forcing myself for years to study medieval thought, I have realized that this book fits perfectly into that thought.
But you don't need to have a master's or doctorate. Just have common sense. If in a book you see herbs and cosmological and zodiacal diagrams together, and only that, the most probable thing is that the authors think that both elements are related, because they also share the same strange script.
And why that strange script? Well, because it corresponds to those strange herbs that nobody recognizes. Not even the authors knew what to say about them, only to invent a code to put them in correspondence with the heavenly influences.
