[*]Why the rosettes? What purpose would they serve a charlatan?
Just as a point for these two specifically.
1) Having this many pages bound into a book may add credibility to the content within "it's in a large book, it's probably legit".
2) The rosettes and foldouts look impressive and kinda cool and weird and not normal. Potential customers (targets) may be impressed by them or simply believe that only a legitimate salesman/academic/doctor would have such an interesting diagram. If it was part of an act, he whips out his giant foldout and "reads" it to "interpret" the spirits, or god, or the heavens or whatever else he thinks will work.
