Why is the Rosettes page much larger than any other page?
#9
I think it was a standalone document at one time, that was folded differently than is found in the current binding. That doesn't necessarily mean the information couldn't have gone into separate folios, but the fact that it didn't could also be telling, since whatever is shown here is likely to all fall under a single heading.

My own take is a mnemonic map, from which an actual map similar to a portolan chart can be drawn. The back of the map also appears to include information about the natural world, seems to me it is focused on minerals and water. Interpreted this way, it can be seen how it would work with the plant sections, both in terms of where the plants might be found, and in the knowledge needed for their propagation.
