Several images can be paralleled with Voynich illustrations, in particular in the so-called “balneological” section.

A few examples:
  • General page layout (K)
  • Patients being cured (B,C)
  • Internal organs represented as tubes (images I, J, K)
  • Naked people inside containers – actually fetuses in the womb (images G, L)
  • A complex, unfinished, astrological diagram (img H)

I don't believe the balneo "nymphs" can be fetuses, but the possibility that the section is about procreation has been put forward several times. I think there could be a connection, even if not an identity.

Second attachment.
