Register or Login to view.In Currier A we mainly see two dominant styles (brown and green), with three folios that stand out as unusual for A (if I am not mistaken: f56, f58, and f65r), where orange, red, and violet topics appear instead.

f58 & f65 are the halves of a Scribe 3 bifolio that Currier(? D'Imperio?) initially classified as A language back in the day. Best guess is it has anomalously low frequencies of the main bigrams used to classify A/B in the early days while overall looking like B pages. Otherwise you have a unique example of someone other than Scribe 1 writing in Herbal A. I've been meaning to dig up D'Imperio's early cluster analysis paper to see if she flags those pages as sticking out.
