My thoughts exactly.

I assume that the author would have known before
writing that f116v was going to be the end
of the book.
I am unsure whether anything we see on f116v is 
from the original author (but it could be...).

Similarly, the drawings on f66r, which are not
dissimilar from f116v, and also have mixed
VMs and Latin characters, could possibly be
additions (doodles) from a later owner.
With the new images, a real graphologist
might be able to say more about this.

Cheers, Rene
