The gradual change from A to B is what appears in this analysis:

Included here is the first set of plots under the heading 'Language characteristics'.
The location of any cross is derived only from the text statistics.
The colour represents the illustration.

The fact that not all colours are spread over the entire page shows that there is some correlation between text and illustration (but that can still mean various things).
The herbal-A and herbal-B are red and ligh blue respectively, but other parts (phamaceutical, astro, cosmo) are 'in between'.
For thread completeness, I will show my results using EVA instead of Voyn_101, comparing top frequency words in Language A vs Language B.

This analysis uses Herbal folios only. Top 10 words in Language A Herbal followed by Language B Herbal. (Integers are counts, floats are fractions.)

Code:
1     daiin     359      0.126        aiin     57      0.048
2     chol     213      0.075        or     57      0.048
3     chor     142      0.050        daiin     53      0.044
4     s     97      0.034        chedy     49      0.041
5     cthy     92      0.032        ar     43      0.036
6     shol     92      0.032        dar     34      0.029
7     sho     87      0.031        qokedy     34      0.029
8     chy     78      0.027        chdy     31      0.026
9     dy     73      0.026        shedy     30      0.025
10     dar     59      0.021        chckhy     24      0.020

This looks superficially similar to the results before, modulo the transcription. Strong statements are unwise given the low statistics in the B word set, and the very different frequency shapes  Sad

(Apologies for the poor formatting in the table. How does one get "daiin" to appear as VMS glyphs in posts?)

In the WYSIWYG menu bar pick up the EVA font (the last one in the list of fonts, the "A" button).
