I've been thinking about how repetitive the text in the VMS really is, so I had the idea for the following experiment:
If you compare two folios word by word, how big is the chance to find similar words in the same place? Even if one does not consider the very short words at a distance of max. 2, the result is remarkable. Compared to "De Balneo", the hit rate is high. When compared to another folio of the VMS, the result is similar.
The weak point here is that the word boundaries in the VMS are not always clear.
