Viewing the MS as a guide to conception and pregnancy
#2
I agree that the Voynich is most likely a fertility guide or gynecological manual.

I found this paper by historian Jong-Kuk Nam, featured in the Korean Journal of Medical History in 2016, extremely enlightening. It focuses on fertility treatments in 15th century Italy, covering both medical practices and folk remedies, following the records and correspondences of a noblewoman from Florence struggling to conceive. It addresses astrology, humors and complexions, bathing and hot springs, poultices made of plants, incantations and prayers.

I'm currently working on a theory that relates to the crowned nymphs of the zodiac and seasonal fertility planning.
