The two bifolios in quire 8 are rather bizarre: they mix different illustrations and layouts in a peculiar way.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. I speculated that the alignment at the top left of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. leaves out a rectangle that was supposed to be filled with a coloured initial, like the "weirdos" in f1r. Emma suggested that the space could have been meant for an ornate star: this is certainly another possibility. The rest of the paragraph is also shifted to the right (though not so deeply). Maybe this space was created for a list of "index" glyphs like in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (also quire 8)?
