[Article] The Singulion and the Sequence: A Methodological Review of Layfield and Davis 2026

That's correct, Rafal, we say quite explicitly that the LSA data are NOT helpful for the herbal section since, although the DHQ article showed that the herbal section seems to have some topical similarity throughout, it also suggests that the text on each herbal page - each plant, that is - is a separate unit. So there may not even BE a "correct" order for that section. We proposed HYPOTHETICAL sequences for Quires 13 and 20 because that was what the data supported. But even there, as we also say explicitly, we cannot know if any of this is truly correct until and unless we can read it.
