Koen and JKP, i can see the moral allegories also existing, and there is the idea that various creation myths can thus also be incorporated into the tapestry of world history. I found it very interesting when i was able to predict the mention of Deucalion by an author if he wrote in the same meter. It pulls in Homer, and Hecateus also wrote of Deucalion, and thus connects the allegories with geographies. I would not be surprised if quire 20 was comprised of tidbits from these writings and ascribed to nymphs in the zodiac ages to set a time to them, and then possibly also to a place in quire 13.
It might be that they just fit in where they fit, insofar as your question as to why other elements exist that don't seem to belong, especially if multiple interpretations are meant to occur.
