If I read it correctly, the report refers to the second printed version from Augsburg. However, that may not make a difference. It also says that initial drawings are mirrored, meaning that later drawings are not.

Possibly, the manuscript illustrator may have assumed that the printed book had inverted the drawings (as would be usual) and he wanted to draw them 'correctly'. Then he got tired of that and gave up.

But that is complete guesswork from my side.

It would be nice if any drawings of Reeuwyck have survived.
