The plant illustrations in the Herbal section:

These match:
• Manuscript Group III of the Italian herbal tradition
especially:
Carrara / Lombard workshop traditions
Padua (Herbals c. 1400–1430)
Veneto region illustrated exemplars
The zodiac roundels match Italian astro-medical tradition:
30-female star-nymph design = Bolognese astro-medical manuscripts
Circular bathing cosmologies = Padua therapeutic diagrams
Flow-tube hydro-mechanic imagery = Ferrara/Pavia traditions
This shared motif family is regionally clustered in the Veneto–Emilia corridor.
Now, this is a paper or a blog post I'd like to read, would be perfect if you could elaborate on this with pictures.
I'm not sure mathematical modeling (edit) by itself can teach us more about the Voynich Manuscript at this stage. Just my personal opinion, but for a while already I stopped trying to understand all the mathematical/statistical articles or posts related to the Voynich Manuscript, it seems to me they don't lead anywhere. They just add one conjecture or curiosity on top of another.
I agree, but as it's pure speculation, I'm not inclined to do so... Besides which I'm not sure I'm the first person to speculate on this
