Reminds me of this joke that my advisor told me, [..]
As a German, I don‘t get this one, but I have one for you,
an „Interview joke“:
Q: What do you think about when seeing the Swiss flag?“
A: „About sex!“
Q: „How‘s that?“
A: „Because I am always thinking about sex!“
I am reminded of this joke quite a lot when I read several theory owners here promoting their ideas…

I don‘t disdain Panofsky.
I doubt the relevance, depth and scientific proof of his words about VMS.
We had accepted scientists who „identified“ sunflowers out of their expertise, profound knowledge or just authority. Others came up with Andromeda nebula or such things. Wasn‘t good for them, wasn‘t good for science, and wasn‘t good for VMS research.
@Antonio Garcia Jiménez, you cite Panofsky with some words about magical plants and their combinations, but: did he ever doubtlessly identify even some few of these plants at least?
As said: I doubt him, regarding the Voynich MS.
