Here's a half formed idea that I'm going to throw amongst you all to see what response we get.
What is the Voynich text is nonsense - but the image aren't?
I've just finished re-Reading Carruthers art of memory and her ideas on memonics have stuck.
So imagine that every single image is encoded, and possibly the labels, into a mnemonic structure. A sort of visual shorthand. But the bulk of the text is filler to "throw you off the scent".
Possible? Of course it is. Probable? Hmm.
