I should have actually looked at my copy of Jane Pickledherring’s Lute Book before I responded tp your last post, but I had to move what interior designers refer to as “a whole bunch of stuff” to get to it. I’ve moved the whole bunch of stuff after reading:

That’s certainly a plausible explanation. I haven’t dealt directly with bookbinders as such, so I can’t form an opinion about what species they belong to, but the book is a manuscript, and looking at the book itself (see above) it seems just as likely that the person who wrote those pages (who was not Jane Pickledherring) may have started from a blank page well on in the book (or at the end) and went in the opposite direction, as if the end of the manuscript was his/her beginning, in which case "upside down” is in the eye of the beholder.
