No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

My interpretation of the Voynich iconography is practically the same as that made by Erwin Panofsky, one of the great experts in medieval and Renaissance iconology.
It is worth remembering his opinion, which was conveyed by Mary d'Imperio in her 1978 work 'The Voynich Manuscrit: An Elegant Enigma'.

This said Panofsky:

So far as can be made out before the manuscript has been decoded, its content would comprise first: a general cosmological philosophy explaining the medical properties of terrestrial objects particularly plants by celestial influences transmitted by astral radiation and those 'spirits' which were frequently believed to transmit the occult powers of the stars to the earth: second, a kind of herbal describing the individual plants used for medicinal and conceivably, magical purposes: third, a description of such compounds as may be produced by combining individual plants in various ways

A similar opinion was that of Father Petersen, also one of the first researchers, who said the following:

The illustrations in the manuscript make it appear all but certain that the text deals with medicinal plants and their use in medieval remedies. The drawings of folios 67-86 seem to illustrate astrological matters, and possibly the medieval theory of vital spirits functioning as animate beings represented by small nude figures
