This is something that naturally came up while transcribing. Some gaps really look like word spaces, and they have been denoted by a full stop / period.
Others seemed doubtful - it was not clear if these were word spaces or just a slightly larger gap between adjacent characters. They have been denoted by a comma.

This process was, of course, strongly subjective.
Gabriel Landini and myself did this in parallel, and we came up with different opinions.

Do you recall the order in which the pages were transcribed?

I ask because I'm interested in how strong the uncertain spaces were affected by subjectivity. I wonder if uncertain spaces became more or less common during the course of the transcription. That is, either you or Gabriel became more aware or word patterns and they influence judgements.

(This isn't a criticism, as I know I would do the same.)

Yes, this was strictly in order of the pages in the MS.
I really doubt that the assessment ('certain'  vs. uncertain) changed in the course of the activity.
