I think I understand how the "unscrupulous" bookbinder worked.
Apparently, his priority was to make a standard book with normal pages out of folios. He put the folding folios away at the end, as he probably did not want them to be at the beginning, otherwise the book would be inconvenient to read (in his opinion).
By the same principle, he could have placed the Rosettes after Balneology, although they should probably be located in the astronomy area.
He probably couldn't find a place for the recipe section, so he put it at the end.
But these are just guesses...
