You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. It was intended as a rough guess, not a robust statistical estimate.
Basically I looked at the portion along the curve with the highest density of bifolia, where the bifolia are closest together. The assumption would be these segments represent continuous back to back production.
I then got some rough estimates of medieval scribe productivity from some studies, around number of lines per hour, and turned these into a bifolia/day, allowing for illustration time, sunday off, etc.
So if Bio bifolia are the closest together, and all roughly t=0.05 apart from each other, i assume each bifolia probably took like 1.5-2 days to make, so t=0.05 = 1.5 days.
I can then back project this mapping across the entire timeline, which results in an estimate of 200-240 days, which doesn't seem unreasonable. It is however an extremely rough estimate.
