Is there a reason to presume that it has to be all of one type or all of the opposite? Text might be relevant in some illustrations and not in others.
If illustration and text do correlate as one expects in a standard manuscript, the botanical and pharmaceutical pages would be prime candidates where such correlation should occur. As far as I know, that has not happened. There is no connection to written examples from historical manuscripts. There is no established VMs vocabulary for plant parts and no common terms for the manufacture of herbal compounds.
Does the circular text around the VMs wreath have anything to do with the wreath?
So far nothing has been proven about text translation. It's going to take more than just one word at a time. Perhaps it will need to be the presence of historical text in the VMs that is required to prove the translation.
