The person who drew the 66v figure was clearly emulating Voynich drawing style but was less skilled in posture and "perspective" than the main artist(s)..
(I see this as relevant to the thread since a marginal picture is very often added by a later owner or reader, which might impact the interpretation).

p/γ
ren mus(s)
mel
ren - a kidney
mel - honey
mus (Latin) - a mouse, muss (German) - pulp (as it was mentioned), but also You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (German) - otium, rest.
Therefore I think, the text relates to the picture (the sick figure with a honey poultice at rest/ with a honey pulp plaster) and, possibly, relates to the f116v marginalia and images.

Honey was sometimes spelled "mel" rather than melle but it doesn't fit as well with "mus" as does "mel" for flour. Mus mel could be porridge, something that is frequently mentioned in medieval remedies.

Register or Login to view.Only one thing confuses me: we can see and suppose that the human figure (f66r) is sick and, most likely, with some abdominal pains or renal or hepatic colics, but the female figure on the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. doesn't have any symptoms, moreover, she has a crown-like head dress. We can assume that the author implied coagulated with rennet goat milk, but for what cure... for beauty... for general health-improvement... for pregnant women?!
