Juan_Sali,
Not too long ago, an effort was made to match the most solid botanical identifications from the VMs with known examples from medieval herbals, in the hope that there might be correspondence in the written text. This was one of the candidates examined. Nothing came of those investigations.
The problem with any interpretive methodology is extending its use beyond single, isolated vords to produce a coherent segment of text.
