I think I saw someone in this forum, possible in this thread, asking for a statistical summary of the nymphs and stars in the Zodiac section. Maybe You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. can help. It is (or was meant to be) a verbal description of every page of the VMs. I started this project back in 2000 or so, but it is still incomplete. The Zodiac pages should be complete, though.
I don't know how useful this file could be to Voynichologists, but, for me, writing it was and is very useful -- because it forced me to really look at every detail of each page, like how many leaves each plant has, what each nymph is doing with her hands and feet, etc. -- and thus notice many things that I had missed before.
PS. That file is in the ISO Latin-1 encoding, and unfortunately the WWW server of my univ does not like that and turns all Latin-1 characters that are not ASCII into a black question mark. You will have to download the file (say. with "wget") and read it with a suitable editor.
