Could the multi-point stars which presumably are used to signal a footnote and also are held by bathing nymphs be edelweiss depictions?
The edelweiss (noble-white, Leontopodium nivale) flowers have five to six small yellow clustered spikelet-florets (5 mm, 3⁄16 in) surrounded by fuzzy white "petals" (technically, bracts) in a double-star formation, see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
Similarly, the stars in the cypher manuscript have a yellow center and multiple (five, six, seven, eight or nine) white rays.
Note that in other star depictions from the 15th century, the stars are shown entirely in yellow and do not have white rays.
