My working hypothesis is that the Voynich Manuscript, dated to the late Middle Ages, may describe the working life (not the private life) of a community of women in a female abbey or monastery. In such institutions, women could manage water systems, canals, land, and personnel, and the abbess herself could be of noble origin. In this context, the presence of a nude woman wearing a crown or regal headpiece in one of the circular diagrams could be interpreted as a symbolic or functional reference to that role.
Do you think the manuscript is referencing a specific community of women or a generic community of women?
