I think it is interesting to know that the invention of the zodiacal symbols are contemporaneous with the Voynich. This may come as a surprise to many, because the signs or zodiacal representations are of ancient origin.
In fact, in the Voynich we see the drawings in the zodiacal section but not the symbols that did not yet exist. I at least have not seen them in manuscripts of the first half of the fifteenth century. I have seen these symbols in the second half of that century, in incunabula, for example, as if they were invented to save letters in printed books.
What I mean by this? That the fifteenth century is a period of invention of astronomical symbols and that makes possible a non-linguistic script like that of the Voynich
