Hi,
Could you give the list or the 12 zodiac signs from "Folio F72" and show how they match the standard Babylonian names?
I'm not sure I understand how this is evidence of anything. If the difference was not 29 but 15 degrees, the computation would just go 15 * 72 = 1080 years, 2025 - 1080 = 945, which would suggest the observational data from the X century, copied onto 15th century vellum. Any difference can be explained this way, just changing the year.

The prefix ok- (Value 31) is consistently associated with "Principal Star" or Pleiades groups.
- Current Position of Pleiades: ~60° ecliptic longitude
- Voynich Value (ok-): 31°
- Difference: ~29°
- Precession Rate: 1° per 72 years
- Precession Calculation: 29° × 72 years = ~2088 years
- Implied Observation Date: 2025 - 2088 = 60 BCE to 100 CE
This suggests the manuscript contains observational data from the Classical/Hellenistic era, copied onto 15th-century vellum.
