Key Points

Identify candidate historical observation dates for astronomical diagrams in the Voynich Manuscript by matching its rosette symbols against simulated historical night skies.
Compiled the celestial positions of all astronomical symbols and rosette configurations within the Voynich Manuscript.
Conducted historical sky simulations spanning 1400 to 1450 CE over Central Europe utilizing Stellarium.
Computed correlation thresholds to detect dates where simulated planetary and stellar coordinates overlap manuscript positions by greater than 90%.
Screened Central European celestial configurations between 1400 and 1450 CE to identify alignments exceeding the 90% overlap threshold.
Ranked and isolated the top three candidate observation dates corresponding to the manuscript's astronomical diagrams.
