As you say René, at the time of Voynich thousands of normal books were made. And as science advances, books will become more and more normal. Because we call normal what we can understand. But in the time of the VM there was a sensitivity for the magical and wonderful that we have lost.
In the northern hemisphere it is now winter and we all know that it is cold and it can snow because the sun's rays hit the Earth with a greater inclination. But what an enlightened person from the Middle Ages knew was that it is cold and snowing because the sun is in the sign of Capricorn. That is, it was the power of the stars of this zodiac sign that was the cause.
In Voynich I believe that this magical and incomprehensible mentality for us is shown: the power of the stars. It is the zodiacal stars that create all those wonderful herbs that we see in the codex.
