Diane: I didn't doubt that duplicated plant images exist. I was just looking for examples to see if the labels are found again in the text on the herbal page. I'm probably not the first to do this, but I haven't seen it published by anyone else, so I tried anyway.
I do think the section is pharmaceutical in a wide sense. As the section shows roots and leaves as well as containers these might go into, what else could it be? As for whether it's "Latin European", that's another question. The shape of the glyphs at least shows such influences, but as for the underlying language, or the culture the author(s) came from, I don't know.
Wladimir: What I mean is that, if the labels are instructions such as "use the juice from the root of this plant" one would expect the same label to occur for several plants. We might still see some unique ones, but probably not as there actually are in the pharma section. This is just my impression, though.
