I see Hermes777 that you have a good knowledge of medieval culture. Indeed, the difficulty of solving the Voynich is that it requires a deep knowledge of the medieval mentality.
Naturally, 15th-century man knew that herbs needed water and good soil to grow, but the reason some herbs had medicinal virtues is a magical process that has to do with celestial influence. What medieval science does is imitate magic to explain that mystery, but it is a rational imitation that mathematizes nature. You speak of the harmony of the cosmologies of the time; yes, they are geometric. Astrology establishes geometric relationships between celestial objects to make its predictions.
What I believe is very simple: The VM script is an astronomical-astrological system that establishes relationships between the sun, the moon and the stars to explain the celestial influence on herbs. And I don't think there is anything else. Just a structure that mimics language to give the appearance of text.
