I think differently.
The drawings of the plants as an example, are carefully and accurately drawn. What makes it look unreal is the coloring. Here everything was disfigured with the thick paint. But some have been nicely colored so that you can still see the base lines. Example, Viola.
Further, I see that not everyone is a Leonardo, so far the drawings are OK.
Since it seems to be several writers, maybe also draftsmen, so I see it not directly as a private work, but rather as a group work.
This leads me to believe that mainly regional plants were used and what can be made of them, or can be made. This would give a pharmacist or doctor an advantage by not having to buy expensive imports. To this knowledge and advantage of the region to were, the encryption came into play.
That's the way I see it.
