All under control. The list of lab texts have the correct numbers. The list of roots and what is being traded is just a memory jogger, not an indication of copied lab texts. When did Chronos leave as I have not accounted for that yet? Sorry just spotted it is end of Spring 1014
We have three active scribes and one in training

On the roots... Is that the comprehensive list of arts included? I have a vague memory of talking about it because imaginem wasn't included. Not sure whether it's a limited set of roots or just not a complete list.
By canon, there are nine roots in 1220 IIRC, and I arbitrarily ruled that one of the nine appears after the Schism. That means that seven arts miss a root in 1014.
There may be primers of lesser reputation in the remaining arts. There probably are, but not easy to find in the mayhem of the Schism.
The point of the roots is not their quality, but their reputation and circulation. Everybody knows about the roots, and nobody can make the copies dear. When you get a root, you know it is good.
Other primers may be better or worse, but they are less trusted and harder to get.
