Six onion-roof towers supporting heavens

[Jorge_Stolfi]

It is much more likely that he

Who is "he"?  The Author, or the Scribe?

wanted to establish a connection that runs through the entire book.

Why do you think so?  Apart from the decorative elements and the script/language, I see no connection or intersection between the major sections of the book -- Herbal, Pharma, Cosmo, Bio, Zodiac, and Stars; except for the well-known "echoes" of Pharma in the Herbal.

Indeed, the breadth of topics and this apparent absence of shared contents tells me that the contents does not come from the Author's own experience  or elucubrations.  Rather, each section seems to have been copied or abstracted from a separate book.   Except that the plant sketches in Pharma may be based on the Author's first-hand observations.
