The Sections
Herbal, Astronomical, Biological, Cosmological, Pharmaceutical, and Recipe sections — none of which reference any known plant or star.
The Cipher
Statistical analysis shows Zipfian distribution (real-language-like), yet no cipher or language has ever matched it.
Rosettes
A six-page foldout of nine interconnected circles — interpreted as a map of cosmos, alchemy, or pilgrimage routes.
