"The (Hellenic) nymphs are presented with clear allusions to the wives and concubines of Solomon bathing in the Pools of Solomon in Jerusalem."
I do not agree with this. I think Antonio García Jiménez phrased the concept very well with his comment about "the personification of natural forces." I think the "nymphs" are a personification of a natural force.
"At the centre of the Voynich foldout map, I argue, we see the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem (Solomonic) with the onion domed buildings representing the candle-flame lit on Easter morn – Christ, the light of the world, is risen."
I'm not convinced that the foldout was intended to represent any place on Earth. I think it is more about God in the Heavens than about Earth.
