One easy question is: "who wrote the foldout folios"

There are 11 of them.

Five are astrological, cosmological and zodiac, all from scribe 4.
Two are cosmological (85+86) and were shared by scribes 2 and 4.
Three are pharmaceutical (89, 101, 102) and are from scribe 1.
Two are herbal (90, 95) where one is from scribe 1 and 1 from scribe 3.

So, scribe 5 has no contribution on foldout folios, but his contribution in general is very small.

Scribes 2 and 3 have very little.

Most interesting is scribe 4, because all of his writing is on fold-out bifolios.
(He wrote f71, which does not fold, but this is the same bifolio as f72, which does).
