No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

There are about 130 plants in the VM, most of them with flowers. Suppose that, being generous, there is consensus to identify 15% of them, that is, about 20.

What does this mean? For me it means that the author more or less knew how to draw the plants that he knew but that what really mattered to him was painting flowers that he had not seen but that he imagined could exist somewhere.

And if he did this, it is because his interest was not to describe the plants or say what they were used for. Since that was not his purpose, he had no reason to use any known language. I believe that this way of reasoning is the one that can shed some light, if it is also considered that it is consistent with the other parts of the codex.
