A schematic and inventory of Herbal A pages, in their current state - RenegadeHealer - 08-06-2021
Just in case anyone might find it useful, here's a schematic I made a while back of all quires that contain Herbal A folios. Please feel free to correct any mistakes I might have made.
- The view is the top edge of the parchments head-on, stacked before folding and [their most recent] binding.
- For folios on the left side of the diagram, the recto side is toward the top of the page and the verso side toward the bottom. The reverse is true for the folios on the right.
- The dashed lines indicate bifolios currently bound in the same quire that are not Herbal A.

A few stats, none new, but all worth noting here:
- 25 Herbal A bifolios. This includes the now missing first half of 12-13. Also, 87-90 is technically a trifolio with six pages instead of a bifolio's four. Conveniently, these two extra plant images are matched by the absence of any plant images on 58, giving a total count of:
- 100 Herbal A plant pages
- Q1~3 are homogeneously Herbal A
- Q4~8 are heterogeneously Herbal A, admixed exclusively with Herbal B
- The first 8 consecutive quires all contain Herbal A bifolios
- Only two Herbal A bifolios occur outside of the first 8 consecutive quires: the 87-90 trifolio in Q15, and 93-96 in Q17.
- With the omission of any single bifolio, all the rest of Herbal A would fit neatly into six quires of four bifolios each
