It is this that the author of the manuscript invented a private alphabet, together with a mechanism for forming the text, with the intention of creating an invented work that others could marvel at but which nobody would be able to read. Possibly also the manuscript was not written in one go but each section was written at a different time. If there was a significant time gap between the writing of each section then it is possible that the author lost some fluency in the use of his own language. Thus the new section would be in a slightly different language and syntax. The big difference between languages A and B might be an indication of a long time gap between writing. The smaller difference in the two language clusters in quire 20 ( being one example ) might indicate a shorter time gap.
Because the language is an invented one the author possibly did not write any formal guide or reference for it, and did not feel obliged to have to follow any particular standard, and may have been happy to have the language 'develop'.

Why exclude the 10 pages from quires 15 and 17?
I don't understand the word count for the "pages with pharmaceutical illustrations" (16 Pharma-A pages?)

Register or Login to view.The herbal-A text (part "A") should include all herbal-A pages in quires 1 to 8, plus folios 87 and 90 in quire 15 and folios 93 and 96 in quire 17. The latter are indeed 10 pages, and if they are not included then this was an error.
Quote:The pharma part (part "P") should include all non-label words on folios 88, 89, 99, 100, 101 and 102.
I count these as 16 pages indeed. 88, 90, 100 and 101 as one page per side and 89 and 102 as two pages per side.
