A supplement to "repetitions of letters" ( see above ):
My assumption that there are frequent repetitions of "words" (pairs of letters) in the comparison text has not been confirmed. The interesting combinations (A-B-A) resulted in only seven hits. Only sequences that occur more than once were counted.
This is what it looks like:

In order to get a text section as a possible plaintext for access to the VMS, only "fa[TIGATI]o" and "fa[TIGATI]onem" <> "SHEDY QOKEDY SHEDY" remains at the end. For the first time, the sequence "SHEDY QOKEDY SHEDY" appears on folio 83v and then once on folio 84r and 84v. In the 4th chapter of Regimen Sanitatis (heading "De balneo") "fatigationem" appears for the first time. It is also pretty near the top of the page. One can therefore speculate on a comparable content.

.... Sunt autem ipsius balnei aliqua iuuamenta | puta somnum prouocare opilationes aperire: & ventrem soluere: & digestionem confortare: et nutrimentum ad cutis superficiem attrahere: et ventrem interdum constringere: et fatigationem remouere. Amplius balneum interdum calefacit: interdum infrigidat: desiccat & humectat. Calefacit quidem obuiatione prima sua actuali caliditate aeris & aque: et digestionem humoris frigidi confortando: sed infrigidat resoluendo plus debito calorem et spiritum essential frigiditate aque. Vnde & si aqua est actualiter siue accidentaliter calida: naturaliter tamen est frigida. Vnde ex longa sui applicatione ad corpus: corpus infrigidat & effeminatum facit. Amplius sua humiditate calorem suffocat naturalem et hebetat: & sic corpus infrigidat. ..
