I suppose one reason to try quire 13 (the "bathing women" or so-called biological or balneological section) as a test is that it would appear to tell a story, so we would expect it to be perhaps more "readable" than medieval medical or pharmaceutical notebook pages, which could be full of obscure abbreviations and specialized notations, which could be difficult for anyone to interpret outside the context of their specific time, place, and culture.
Indeed out of curiosity I already took a look at the very beginning of quire 13, the passage of text at the top of folio page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. through the first four complete lines. If there is any sense to this text at all, we might logically consider this to be "the beginning of the story", if we have a story here at all.
Geoffrey, you suppose wrong.
Also, what you present is very, very far from half a page of quire 13.
