Such a person might have created a private symbolic system to organize botanical, medical and astrological knowledge gathered from fragments of learning available around them.Nice idea. This also could have correlation with the singluon theory.
There are naked females (a hint that was intended for an adult or adults) but there is no erotic representation of them (that would imply a female author with no lasciviousness towards the female body.) Have heard that it has a lot of sense if it was directed to a female audience.
As far as i know (that is very little), in the medieval paintings and sculptures of "muses" (when a woman shows "some skin") it has a romantic pose or an "inviting" presence even in a religious context (specially if the author is male; like la pietà or the Mona Lisa smile.) This is absent in the voynich as i recall, always performing a "task" in a "natural" manner.
