I know absolutely nothing about this topic, except for this one segment in this very weird art/history documentary, from minute 40:00 to about minute 48:00. https://youtu.be/2kKDJ3ZoLPc?si=zAdSgegHLlHXIDuu
Spoiler: the documentary implies that either Voynich's wife or her father created it, her father being an 1800s code-writer/early computer scientist (kind of).
Take a look at f75r. Now, look at the Caspian Sea, and a full Aral Sea. Look at them at a 45 degree angle, NW up, except the bottom of the Caspian is already correct. Notice a few things, like the rocky SE outline doesn't match the shoreline, but that line could be drawn on f75r from leg to bucket.
I see it as mnemonics for remembering how to draw them correctly without anyone catching you with it or knowing what it is. The naked nymphs are there as data representations and to explain one's reticence to let other people see it. Next page is Araxes, Urmia and Sevan. Contiguous, but out of order

One of my favorite stories. Has someone actually created/published the Voynich Manuscript?
origin and provenance aside it certainly exists
