Implications of the continuity of Currier "languages"

[-JKP-]

The way scribes shared the workload was not always logical or based on sections. There are many medieval manuscripts where one scribe writes the first three pages and then the next paragraph on the fourth page, then another scribe writes a paragraph or two, then the first scribe takes over again at the bottom of the page. Sometimes it's because of a change in subject matter but often there is no discernible reason for the change in scribes.
