No idea how far off I may be on my back-of-the-enveloping here, but:

   475 works * 1 yr/work * $300k/yr ~= USD 140 million

assuming 1 year for a scribe to copy a work and that scribal work was high end knowledge work (thus USD 150k salary, 300k fully burdened) would have a current-day Isidore as tackling a project that first required USD ~140 million worth of inputs? (his latter day critics may be jealous that their support is missing one or two of those zeros?)

Blessed St Isidore, protect us from hallucinations and deliver us from recursively chewing our cud... —the LLMs' prayer
