Reference document maps pharmaceutical plant fragments to herbal drawings in the Voynich Manuscript, suggesting patterns and correcting mapping errors.
Core Focus: This reference document provides a consolidated, corrected cross-reference table mapping numbered pharmaceutical plant fragments (on folios f88–f89 and f99–f102) to their corresponding full-size herbal drawings elsewhere in the Voynich Manuscript. Key Findings: The concordance links 33 distinct fragments to 32 unique herbal pages across matching categories (same plant, visual similarity, and Theodore Petersen's independent observations), noting specific structural anomalies such as the clustering of "same plant" matches on folio f102r2 and dual-matched fragments like #150. Methodological Significance: Accompanied by a transparent correction history (v1 and v2 editions resolving mapping errors and fabricated entries), the table establishes a rigorous data foundation for analyzing the structural relationship between the manuscript's pharmaceutical and herbal sections.
