I am sad to read that you feel an aggessive undertone on this forum, to me this forum is mostly a nice place to be,
what you will find is that some replies can be curt or brusque and 'mostly' means there are exceptions.
You were perhaps expecting responses like:
User: Oh yes, what a good idea, that plant on f29 looks like an African "africus" tree, this would intersect well with your theory.
That might happen and sometimes does but what you are waaaay more likely to see is:
User: No, the plant on f29 has a bract on the pedicel therefore cannot be an africus tree; because an africus tree always has an epicalyx on the pedicel.
Thats just the way this forum is.
Think positively, most replies that are in the negative nearly always have a reason and sometimes even a link, then you can use them as a learning resource.
Eliminating a wrong answer is one more step to finding the right one.
Coming up with a theory that is rigorous, backed by argument, reasoning, facts, logic, etc is very difficult and takes a lot of time and effort.
For instance, you stated that:
"The animal on page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is a Manis tricuspis. Thats so obvious for me"
This is a fine idea, it certainly could be an African tree pangolin( Manis tricuspis) ,
however your argument for this statement is by saying 'thats so obvious for me'.
I hope you can see, that this is an opinion, there is no weight behind it,
someone else may claim with equal authority that "it is obvious to me that this is an Armadillo".
FYI the Pangolin vs Armadillo debate is infamous in Voynich circles and highly contentious,
there are even cartoons about it.

Although it may not seem like it, members can be quite helpful, don't be afraid to ask for help / assistance / resources.
- a thread entitled something like 'How to locate original Portugese Roteiro's' may bring some answers.
If you are serious about your theory, keep at it, weather the storms, use and absorb any criticism, some like-minded people may appear and most of all enjoy doing it.

I thought people would reply and tell me what could fit into addition to my ideas.
