In my experience, this is one of the situations where digitized files might not do the original justice, as different lighting, turning the pages etc. might improve the readability significantly. Which limits the usefulness of OCR as well... However, reading and possibly transcribing 1100 pages in the library sounds quite tedious for what might be very limited results.
I've been through just over half so far. I know a smattering of Latin and German and am generally looking for any keywords or symbols. So far it looks like a fairly standard Paracelsian manuscript. I would guess that Dr Zandbergen or Guzy would have spotted anything really obvious already, so not expecting to turn up much.
