Starred Paragraphs are Pythagorean Sentences, or Maxims
#7
Hi Linda, 

1) I just picked a random selection from the VM that was similar in size as an example. I agree it is in a strange place to be the start of the Similitudes. 

2) I am not firm on the collection I proposed (see below for an alternative), and am open to other selections and combinations. I have also not considered order yet (of matching the sentences with the stars, or of the folios in this section).

3) Since I wrote the blog post, I have also noticed another grouping that might be better: 

Pythag. Sentences - 123
Sentences of Democrates - 80
Similitudes of Demophilis - 59
Sentences of Demophilis - 45
Golden Versus - 71
Total of this combination = 378

This version is closer to my estimate of 380 than the other combo with 392.  

I know I have a lot of work to do here! 

Great point about the flourished gallows, and also about the shared words / quires.
