Matching Plant Images Internally

[Mark Knowles]

I think Wladimir also posted about this at one point, though my recollection of it is vague. These should definitely be compared and supplemented it necessary.

To be honest my main interest in this is to see if something can be learned about the original order of the large plants and the connection between both sections. I am pessimistic about matching labels to text, but you never know of course.

I think you are right that Wladimir is the other person who has done most in this area. I think I have taken the matching further than him(though I suppose that one might think that I would say that) and he has done a little textual comparison,  but not in much depth if I recall. I think there is scope for doing a much more thorough and exhaustive analysis; in order to do that I need to organise the matchings with all the correct folio position reference points.

You are right to be pessimistic about matching labels to labels to text, as long as that pessimism doesn't stop one from doing that analysis, because whilst there is the smallest possibility of there being textual relationships they should definitely be investigated.
