Observations on the Visual and Functional Structure of the Voynich Manuscript
#49
I do not think the entire manuscript can be taken as a whole.  I think there are differences between the sections.

- Pages with text and illustrations of plants.
- Pages with text and illustrations that are not primarily plants.
- Pages with text but without illustrations other than paragraph bullets.

I think the studies on handwriting and character/word frequencies show that there are differences.

On the Rosettes page, I think most of the outer circles represent Earth or the physical world.  I think the large center circle represents Heaven or the spiritual world.  My best guess is that the volcano is showing something moving or transferring from Earth/physical world to Heaven/spiritual world.  I don't know if it is souls or prayers or something else.

I do think that the repeated use of circles throughout the non-plant pages indicates that it is more likely to be Bohemian and less likely to be Bavarian.  But use of circles and Bohemian vs. Bavarian is a topic for a different thread.
