I'd rather not speculate about the written until decoding, since I don't think speculation does us any good. However, I do feel that can say that I have proven two previously undocumented constant features of the manuscript, in addition to a real world positioning.
I think the important thing to remember about Marco Polo, is that the expeditions didn't really begin with him- they began with his father and his uncle. The record of "Marco Polo Travels" only covers partial information from when he joined. Interestingly, the stars in the ending of the Voynich seem to fluctuate between three variants: a full red star, a star with a red dot, and a yellow star- with the red dotted star being the one introduced later in the folio. We can't say this is a standalone text- we can only say it's the only one we've seen. The content and quality of the work implies it had an intended audience.
Based on the carbon dating results and materials dating results, I think the most logical conclusion would be that it was transcribed after their passing, but I do believe the Voynich & 'Map with Ship' belonged to the same person at one point at a bare minimum.
Icebergs are notoriously difficult to draw, due to the complex interactions of shadows, reflections, and lights. In fact, one of the earliest representations we have in contemporary art, was not until the 1800s; You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
As far as animals go, one could argue that in fact, all of the species represented in the associated folios are arctic: a mountain goat, arctic gar/char, lobsters, and a snow leopard or arctic lynx.
Regarding the floral varieties, there are whole taxonomies in the poppy family that do in fact survive in the arctic, as well as other native flora.
