I'm interested in the evidence of the 2 Quires being reordered. Can you
point me to where it was discussed? I agree with the idea and have been
personally trying to figure a way to flip 57v around and put all the
circle diagrams together without disrupting the rest of the manuscript.The page numbers may have been placed there by someong who took the
manuscript apart and wanted to prevent another mess like he had the first
time he tried to put it back together.
I know that if I had it in my possession, I'd probably have taken it apart
by now in hopes of finding some sort of key hidden inside by the author in
the binding in case of emergency!
