Just to be clear, it isn't that there are 52 unique labels, there are 
far more than that.  I have 1031 unique labels and that's after 
discarding the first 5 or 7 from stolfi's list that have asterisks for 
weirdo untranscribed characters.  There just happened to be 52 labels 
that were used as labels in more than one section of the manuscript.  
52 that could be compared in context with more than one type of drawing 
in other words.  Someone is doing this for the digraphs as well so each 
digraph can be compared intra section and then between sections with 
which drawings they appear and then in the manuscript for a rigorous 
part of speech refutation.

The 52 might still be pointers to the recipes, but it would be with an 
extra layer of indirection.  The decoder would have a tough time by 
hand first determining that there are 52 used in more than one section. 
 Of course, if there were 1031 recipe sections ....  :)
