Jorge, I can see you're good with jokes. More than the Scottish cow joke, I found it funny that you think the herbal and the cosmological and zodiac sections are stuck together in the Voynich by chance. That someone put them together when binding the codex, even though they have nothing to do with each other. I'm actually surprised that so many people might think this, when there don't seem to be any conventional herbals linked in the same codex to cosmological and zodiacal pages.
I maintain that the Voynich is a perfect unity that was conceived as a unity of message. I have said on occasion that the script is something incidental that might not exist, that any educated person of that time would know how to interpret the codex's imagery as a manifestation of the power of the stars over the herbs.
In Voynich research, there is a lot of anachronism, such as separating astronomy and astrology when in the Middle Ages they were practically synonymous.
