I can't make sense of the "cz" with macron either - it would be good if we could find it at all in a German context. I agree that something's off with the marginalia, though since they are typically scribbles for personal retrieval, they might just be someone's personal shorthand. Like the kind I developed in certain university classes that required lots of manual writing. For example, I would write "mpij" for the common word "maatschappij" (society), even though initial "mp" doesn't occur in Dutch.

On the cohesion of these three marginalia pages:

One thing I noticed is that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and the left margin of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. have a lot in common. I cut up the images a bit for effect:

   


Both seem to have a drawing of a [patient?]. For the reclined figure, Marco has shown that he is applying the same yellow to his belly as what was used for the contents of the container. The figure on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. also has a different position than standard nymphs, one that wouldn't be out of place on one of those "bean bag" mattresses patients are depicted on in certain traditions.

We also have three drawings of [ingredients?] each with a three-word label. Mel/del, mus, leb. Of "leb", we suspect that it may be an abbreviation for "leber", without even an abbreviation mark or anything. Mel mus leb. 

This shortening/dividing in threes might also be present elsewhere. Ma+ria. So nim gas mi/x/. Por tas. So I wonder if the word with the cz digraph was also seen as having three "letters", perhaps with the macron added after all to show that it's abbreviated. These are just some loose thoughts. 

If the flower once had a label, I guess it's gone now. Maybe it would have had three letters
