To me this rather looks like a guy who couldn't remember his Latin vocab and drew a visual lexicon or maybe mnemonics.
If it was a cipher, then one could expect to find an example ciphertext anywhere near it... Look at any crypto manual, they always show how it's done on a short phrase. Ofc, 1400s might have been different.
The circular diagrams appear rather like an attempt in Gematria, assigning a number to each letter in the alphabet. The 6-fold split circle diagrams are saying something about good&evil I think (guod gut / pöß böse). One of the circles (16v) has a days-of-the-week list in it, I think I can recognize Montag, Freitag and Sombtag (Sonntag, Sunday).
