Considering the years I've spent studying the plants, and that I knew quite a bit about plants before I knew about the VMS, obviously everything I've observed in the Ms cannot be summed up or demonstrated in a few words.(13-01-2017, 07:20 PM)-JKP- Wrote: You are not allowed to view links.

One of the things I am rather certain about (as far as certainty is allowed to exist in the Voynich world) is that the same plant can look vastly different between both sections. So I would strongly advise against using this as a determining factor.

I have a suspicion that different sections of the VMS may have been illustrated by different people.

There are a few big plants that make me wonder if some are by a different hand, but overall... I think one person drew most of the plants.
