Evidence
"many vernacular remedy collections came into being though a patchwork process... even if they appear visually coherent on the manuscript page."
Remarks
The 'manuscript page' is described as an arena where visual coherence (through scribe hand, rubrication, and formatting) is maintained despite a lack of stylistic or thematic coherence in the content (p. 17). Codicological evidence such as quire structure and scribal organization suggests that owners derived pleasure and pride from possessing these physical objects (p. 29).
