Vocabulary size by Illustration Type    (Using slightly modified ZL2a transcription, uncertain spaces as spaces)
Any and all Errors are mine, the folllowing description sounds more complicated than it is Smile .

In the EVA format there is a variable $I for Illustration type.
The Herbal Type was further split into 2 types, Herbal_a and Herbal_b  following LisaFaginDavis allocation of folios by Scribe.
Herbal_a is defined as having EVA $I = H and its folio is ascribed to Scribe_1.
Herbal_b is defined as having EVA $I = H and its folio is ascribed to any Scribe except Scribe_1.

Here the words in the folios of the same Illustration type were collected giving a total word count for each of the 9 types.

Within each type, replicated words were removed, creating a set of words where each word is counted once, this is the vocabulary of that Illustration type, the  'type_vocab'.

Then for each word in the  'type_vocab',  if that word apppeared in any the other 8 type_vocab's , the word was removed. creating an  'unshared_vocab'

The  'type_vocab'  contains the words that appear once or more in folios that have the same Illustration type.
The  'unshared_vocab'  contains words that appear once or more ONLY in folios that have the same Illustration type.

Any word that appears in more than one  'type_vocab'  is removed completely.
For instance the word  'daiin'  appears in several  'type_vocab's  and because of that it does not appear in any of the  'unshared_vocab's.

Key: Herbal_a ( Ha );  Herbal_b ( Hb );  Stars ( S );  Balneo ( B );  Pharma ( P );  Astro ( A );  Zodiac ( Z );  Text ( T  );  Cosmo ( C ).
Code:
Type,  total_words,  type_vocab,  unshared_vocab,    unshared_vocab as % of type_vocab,      Rank Ha,     8054,          2516,           1460,            % 58.028                              R1 Hb,     3522,          1353,            474,            % 35.033                              R8 S,     10851,          3072,           1662,            % 54.101                              R2 B,      6376,          1471,            618,            % 42.012                              R4 P,      2555,          1132,            472,            % 41.696                              R5 A,       876,           611,            238,            % 38.952                              R7 Z,      1291,           767,            343,            % 44.719                              R3 T,      3108,          1279,            448,            % 35.027                              R9 C,      2213,          1101,            436,            % 39.600                              R6

Observations:
-HerbalA has the most unshared words, as expected because it is CurrierA.
-Pharma is also CurrierA so its position at R5 is unexpected.
-Stars at R2 is 10% higher than the next rank, an anomaly with no obvious explanation.
Speculations:
One possibility is the Stars section is discussing something that is outside the range of the rest of the text.
