With that setup, the model settled on six themes that line up with the well-known sections: Herbal, Pharmaceutical, Biological (balneological), Astronomical/Zodiac, Marginal Stars, and a Text/Cosmological connector. When the manuscript switches section, the dominant theme usually flips at the same boundary.
Consider the hypothesis
"in each page (with maybe a couple of exceptions), all parags have the same 'topic'".
Are your results compatible with this hypothesis? In other words, how many pages did you find which have two or more parags with clearly distinct topics?
If there are such pages, is the break between topics consistent with a transition between two "sections" that falls in the middle of a page? That is, do you see only transitions like [AA][AAA][AAB][BBB][BB][BAA][AA], or are there transitions like [AA][BA][BBB][BAB][AA] etc.?
I would not join labels to nearby parags. Label distributions are quite different from parag word distributions. If a page has two parags and you join a bunch of labels to the second parag, they will probably came out as having different topics, just for that reason.
