Interesting manuscript. When I looked for Voynich-like page layouts long ago, I certainly did not know of it, or it would have been included. This is certainly among the closest to the Herbal layout.
It also appears to make very extensive use of color annotations. If it was already discussed before, it may be in that context, otherwise it's a new addition. Often they are still visible at the top edge, half clipped off. Or just right next to the plant. There are entire phrases like "everything in green", "the flowers are yellow".
And a bunch of color terms. Different kinds of "gell", lots of "grün". And of course:
This root has something like "rot fa...", maybe some variant on "vahl", maybe a faded red?
Scan 205 has a word starting with "p", can't read it. Weis plüd?
There may be some relevance for the marginalia written at the top of f17r, which has been read as a painting instruction. "mallier aller.... " -> paint all...
This manuscript does basically that: phrases of painting instructions at the top of the page, which may include a form of "all".
