Scribes and authorship of the text

[dashstofsk]

it could explain why topic distributions correlate more strongly with scribal hands

Perhaps it would help to count the number of words ( paragraph words only, no labels, no radial or circular text ) by topic, hand and language.

In particular all biological page text is in hand 2, language B. 90% of the stars page text is in hand 3, language B. These two make up 50% of the whole.

I have always found it useful to restrict my analysis to just the following works:

Bio_B2      6549     
Herbal_A1   8086     
Herbal_B2   2369   
Pharma_A1   2490     
Stars_A3     781     
Stars_B3   11319     
Text_B2     1830     

With relatively few words outside of these works it might be difficult to get proper correlations between topic and hand and language.
