This points to a specific way of interpreting the VMS: it illustrates that even what has been severed by earthly life and sin remains under divine protection, and that what was once divided will be reunited in purity. That is how these plant illustrations should be read.Hmm, isn't that interpreting the evidence to fit the desired conclusion? (ie, the wrong way round?)
One could certainly cite a specific passage from the Book of Enoch in relation to this folio. I will reiterate the hypothesis that the plants are diagrams governed by specific rules—such as colors, shapes, arrangements, and the number of elements—that graphically symbolize parables. Furthermore, magical and talismanic elements designed for protection against evil are integrated into these plants.
