Probably nobody will take the designations of the individual sections literally. One only has a makeshift division of the sections and so can refer to them. Everyone then knows which part of the manuscript is meant. That is probably the whole point of the present division into named sections.

I'm sure that 90% or more of the members of this forum believe that there really is a biological or balneological section.Well, one can have a different opinion about that. For example, it is not clear to me what a "biological section" is supposed to be. One can imagine all sorts of things, rather vaguely.

It is one more sign of incompetence, that what is really needed to face the Voynich is a deep knowledge of medieval culture.
The drawing on the Rosettes page it's a sketch of an astronomical clock. The clock has two hands because one represents the sun and the other the moon. We can still see it on the famous Prague clock, which is contemporary with the VM, at least its oldest part.
