Just to be sure: is this saying that the Voynich MS zodiac drawings appear to be exact copies of some original?
That is new to me. In fact, until now, the one often repeated comment about Voynich MS drawings is that they appear to be original, if not unique. This is true for the biological section, the herbal drawings (for which there is an enormous amount of example/comparison material) and indeed the zodiac.
I would be interested to understand better where this opinion is coming from.

I am equally incredulous about this statement.
The drawings in the Voynich MS have nothing to do with the quality output of a workhop like his. That is not just my personal opinion.
I am not trying to argue that the Voynich MS cannot date from after 1430.
Just that these two arguments appear invalid to me.
