Q13A : fol 76+83 , 77+82 , 79+80
Q13B : fol 75+84 , 78+81
This is a split of bifolios into two groups based mainly on the illustrations. Q13A is presumed to be the 'earlier' one since it starts with a text-only page.
This leaves only 12 'observations' for Q13A and 8 for Q13B.
Computing the statistics using nablator's approach shows correlations of:
+0.718 for Q13A
+0.463 for Q13B
Is this significant? If so, it is certainly only marginal, but it would be interesting to see how a selection based on the illustrations shows up in the text.
This was not so difficult to check. Trying a few other potential splits results in some cases where the two correlations are much more similar, but also others where the two correlations were even further apart.
There is therefore no evidence that this particular split is "special" from the text point of view.
At least from this very specific aspect.
